Butter Rolls

These butter rolls are something like the crescent rolls but they are soft and buttery, you can serve it with jam and butter or just eat it plain. In a mixing bowl, add in yeast, sugar, melted butter, and eggs followed by the dry ingredients which are bread flour, plain flour, and salt then using the hook attachment of the stand mixer, mix everything until it forms a dough.

Turn the mixer on speed 4 and knead the dough for about 10 minutes, be sure to let the mixer rest in between to avoid overheating. Once your dough is smooth and elastic, stop kneading then oil a large bowl and place the dough, cover it with a plastic wrap and let it proof for an hour. After an hour, knock out the air and transfer the dough onto a floured surface then roll the dough to about 20 inches round shape.

The trick to rolling the dough into a round shape is to roll it in every direction. Use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into about 12 to 16 triangles then roll each piece into a round shape and transfer the rolled dough into a greased baking tray if you have a large round baking tin you will butter it then place the dough in it.

Cover and let the dough proof again for about one and a half hours then brush them with egg wash then bake in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
