- Wisk the warm milk, yeast & 1 tbsp of sugar together, set aside for 5 minutes
- Add the other tbsp of sugar, egg, butter, salt & 1/3 of the flour, mix together with a wooden spoon till combined
- Add the remaining flour working it together with your hands until a dough forms ( if the dough seems too wet, add extra sprinkles of flour until it's workable)
- Knead for 5 minutes until you have a nice smooth dough
- 1st rise….place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 2 hours or until dough has doubled in size
- After 1st rise, punch the dough to release trapped air, place on floured surface.
- Shape the rolls. Divide into 14-16 pieces of balled dough. Arrange the dough balls in a baking pan ( I used a quiche dish)
