Soft Homemade Bread Rolls – Perfect for Any Meal!

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dry active yeast on top and stir gently. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy and bubbly.

Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 500-550 g of flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center, and add the yeast mixture, 1 egg, and 1 egg yolk. Stir everything together until a dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Let the Dough Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls:
Punch down the dough and divide it into small portions, shaping each one into a smooth ball. Arrange them in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.

Second Rise:
Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, until they puff up.

Bake the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Finish:
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. For extra softness, you can brush them with a little melted butter.
