7 ingredients6 steps

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Gently heat the milk and butter with 120ml water in a small saucepan until warm to the touch.

    2. Step 2

      In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the egg and then gradually add the milk mixture, mixing until a soft dough is formed.

    3. Step 3

      Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (usually after 10 minutes).  Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rough rectangle shape, approximately 12 x 6cm. Roll up each bun starting with the long side.

    4. Step 4

      Place onto a greased baking tray and cover with greased cling film allowing for growing space.

    5. Step 5

      Leave to rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in height.

    6. Step 6

      Brush with a beaten egg, make 3 small incisions along the top of each bun and bake at 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 7) for 15 minutes until golden.

    Followed the instructions precisely but the dough was FAR too wet, couldn't touch it. Heard the same feedback from another family member in a different country. Please update the quantities to the correct values.

    This recipe only states to let dough rise once, after shaping. You get better results (and better texture rolls) by letting dough rise once after the initial kneading, and then again after shaping. For a softer texture bun, brush with milk rather than egg, or not at all.
