How to make Milk Bread (Dinner Rolls)
Making the Dough
In a bowl, add water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine, then add powdered milk and egg and mix well.
Add flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes. The dough will be very sticky and soft.
Add butter and knead for 15 minutes until the dough is soft and stretchy.
Proofing and Baking
Cover the dough and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, knead it again for 5 minutes, then divide it into equal sizes. Roll each portion into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan.
Allow the rolls to rise again until doubled in size. Brush the tops with egg wash.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks
For a richer flavor, use whole milk powder.
Ensure the water is lukewarm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly flour your hands and the work surface.
FAQS
Can I use a stand mixer to knead the dough?
Yes, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Knead on medium speed for about 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
How do I know when the dough has risen enough?
The dough should double in size. You can also gently poke it with your finger; if the indentation remains, it's ready.
Can I freeze the baked rolls?
Yes, allow the rolls to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature before reheating.
What can I use instead of egg wash?
You can use milk or melted butter for a golden finish.
How can I make sure my rolls are extra soft?
Don't overbake the rolls. They should be lightly golden brown. Also, covering them with a clean towel immediately after baking can help keep them soft.
