This bakery-style, soft, buttery and chewy bread is easy to prepare for your family breakfast. You don’t need any major types of equipment, just a bowl will do and they will bake so fluffy and light. To get started, you will be using one can of evaporated milk, you could also use whole milk or heavy cream. Warm it in the microwave for about a minute or up to 105 to 100 degrees Celcius which is the perfect temperature for proofing dry active yeast.

Also, dissolve one teaspoon of sugar, add the dry yeast, and then allow it to proof for about 5 to 7 minutes or until your milk gets foamy and bubbly. In a large bowl, add bread flour or all-purpose flour then add dry milk, the dry milk has a malt milky flavour. Add one cup of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, a room-temperature egg, and vegetable oil then add the activated dry yeast mixture and start combining everything.

Once everything comes together, transfer it to a work surface and continue kneading with your hands until your dough passes the windowpane test. The windowpane test is when you can stretch the dough thin enough to see through it without it tearing. The kneading process to this point should take about 15 minutes. Once done, oil a large bowl then place the dough in it cover it with a cling film and place it in a warm non-drafty place for one hour or until it doubles in size.

Turn the dough out to your clean work surface and lightly flour the surface then press the air out of the dough divide the dough into equal pieces and roll them into a bowl. Line the rolled dough into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper then allow them to proof once again until they double in size, the time may vary.

Take one large egg and beat it then brush the top with the egg wash and that will give them a deep golden brown color that you are looking for in bread. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the rolls for 20 minutes. Let the rolls cool then remove from the pan and serve.
