Instructions
1- Activate Yeast:
- Warm 1 cup of whole milk in the microwave for about 1 minute.
- Pour into a large mixing bowl and add 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast along with 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Whisk gently and let it sit for a few minutes until frothy, indicating active yeast.
2- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add 2 large eggs to the yeast mixture.
3- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Incorporate 4 cups of bread flour and 2 teaspoons of pink Himalayan salt into the bowl.
4- Knead Dough (Initial):
- Use a stand mixer with a dough hook to mix on low speed forming a shaggy dough.
5- Add Butter & Knead (Final):
- Gradually add 5 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter in small cubes while the mixer is running.
- Continue kneading for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, pulling away from the bowl's sides.
6- First Proof:
- Lightly grease a clean bowl with avocado oil spray.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in the greased bowl.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, letting it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (around 1-1.5 hours).
7- Punch Down & Divide:
- Deflate the dough gently and transfer it onto a clean surface.
- Divide into 12 equal portions.
8- Shape Rolls:
- Form each dough portion into a smooth, round ball by pinching the edges underneath and rolling gently between your palms.
9- Arrange for Second Proof:
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Place the 12 balls evenly in the dish, allowing a small gap between each.
10- Second Proof:
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise again in a warm spot until puffy and nearly doubled in size (30-60 minutes).
11- Prepare for Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 375-400Β°F (190-200Β°C).
12- Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with this mixture.
13- Add Topping (Pre-Bake):
- Evenly sprinkle sesame seeds on the egg-washed rolls.
14- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are golden brown.
15- Butter Brush:
- Immediately brush the hot rolls with 1 tablespoon of unsalted melted butter.
16- Add Topping (Post-Bake):
- Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
