Soft Yogurt Bread Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of sugar (5 grams)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (5 grams)
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (10 ml)
- 1 tablespoon of yogurt (20 grams)
- 1 cup warm milk (200 ml)
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (300 grams)
Directions:
- If using active dry yeast, mix it with the sugar and warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy (skip if using instant yeast).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the warm milk, vegetable oil, and yogurt, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release the air, then divide it into 8-10 pieces.
- Shape each piece into a roll and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover and let the rolls rise for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
- Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) and bake for 6 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips:

- Let the rolls rest long enough during the second rise for a soft, airy texture.
