Soft, Easy Yeast Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 230 grams milk
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 packet yeast or 20 grams compressed yeast
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 ½ 375 grams cups flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Yeast Rolls from Zestuous
  • Warm the milk in a microwave for 45 seconds. Pour into a stand mixer bowl with white sugar, yeast and vinegar. Let proof for 5 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar, salt, flour and 2 tablespoons butter to the proofed yeast. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough at speed 2 for 30 seconds. Increase speed to 4 and knead for 5 minutes.
  • NOTE: If you knead the dough by hand, avoid the temptation to add more flour. The dough will be sticky. It will soften the longer you knead it.
