Fluffy Butter Rolls are delightfully soft, golden-brown rolls with a tender, pillowy texture that melts in your mouth. These rolls are lightly sweetened, with a hint of buttery richness that makes them perfect for any meal. The dough, enriched with milk and butter, creates a light, airy crumb with a beautifully glossy finish from the egg wash. These rolls are ideal for serving warm as a side to soups, salads, or hearty main courses, and they’re just as delicious on their own with a spread of butter or jam. Perfect for special gatherings or as an everyday treat, Fluffy Butter Rolls are a comforting and irresistible homemade delight.

Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sugar, milk, and yeast. Stir with a spatula until well-mixed. Add the wheat flour and salt, and mix again until a dough forms. Cover the bowl with a lid and let it rest for a short time.

2. Step

Add the unsalted butter to the dough and knead thoroughly by hand until smooth. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour.

3. Step

After the dough has risen, divide it into 9 equal parts. Roll each part into a cylinder or log shape.

4. Step

Place the rolls in a pre-greased, preheated 22×22 cm baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a cloth and allow the rolls to proof for 40 minutes. Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a glossy finish.
