Ingredients
Tangzhong
- 2 tablespoons bread flour (20 grams)
- 1/3 cup milk + 1 tablespoon (95 grams)
Dinner Roll Dough
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (7 grams)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (12 grams)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (180 grams), warmed to 110F
- 3 1/4 cups bread flour (405 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt (6 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56 grams)
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Make the Tangzhong. In a small saucepan, add bread flour and milk. Whisk over medium heat until a thick paste forms. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Make the Dinner Roll Dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, sugar, warm milk, flour, salt, egg, butter and tangzhong. Knead the dough for 5 minutes on medium speed.
3. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Preheat oven to 150F. Once the oven reaches this temperature, turn the oven off. Place the covered dough in the warm oven and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
4. Punch dough down and place on lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 12 roughly equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place into a greased 9×13 pan.
5. Cover the shaped rolls with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
6. Preheat the oven to 350F. Once the oven reaches this temperature, Brush the rolls with egg wash. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown in color. Enjoy!
