Ingredients

  • 4 Cups *strong flour (see notes)
  • 2 Tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon instant dry yeast

  • 3/4 Cup water
  • 2/3 Cup milk

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Stir and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan set over medium to low heat, add the milk, water and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot to touch, (38 C/100 F) Remove from heat.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the milk mixture. Using a fork or spoon, start mixing the flour into the milk. Continue doing this until it is completely combined. Dough may be sticky.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes. This dough is will probably be sticky and that is okay. Use little bits of flour while you knead the dough if you find it is too sticky.
  • Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise for one to two hours to rise. The dough should double in size.
  • Punch the dough down and then divide it into 15 equal parts. Gently roll each one into a ball.
  • Lightly grease a deep sided 16 x 10 inch baking dish. Evenly place the dough balls in the baking dish. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise for another one to two hours or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When the rolls have risen, lightly brush with melted butter and place them in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden.
  • Remove from oven and brush with extra melted butter. Can be enjoyed straight away.
