Ma'S Rolls
Soft, fluffy rolls with a hint of sweetness and richness, perfect for breakfast or alongside meals, appealing to bread lovers seeking homemade comfort food.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scald the milk and let it cool.
- Dissolve sugar, salt, and yeast in the cooled milk.
- Add cooking oil and half of the flour to the milk mixture and beat until smooth.
- Work in the remaining flour and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Set the dough in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down and shape into rolls in your preferred shape.
- Let the shaped rolls rise for 5 minutes.
- Bake at 400°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of skim. If you don't have dry yeast, you can substitute with active dry yeast, using slightly more and activating it in warm water first. To save time, use a stand mixer for kneading. If your dough isn't rising, try placing it in a warm oven with the light on.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for any meal and pair beautifully with Herb And Garlic Cheese Spread for an appetizer or snack. They make a great side with soups or salads and can be used to soak up delicious sauces. Try them with a hearty stew or alongside a classic roast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, wrap rolls in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for plain flour, but the texture may be denser. You might want to use a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a lighter roll. Additionally, you may need to slightly adjust the liquid in the recipe.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To make your rolls sweeter, consider increasing the sugar to 1/3 cup or adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough. You can also brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking for a sweet crust.
What should I do if my dough isn't rising?
If your dough isn’t rising, check the freshness of your yeast. It should be active and bubbly when mixed with warm water. Ensure the environment is warm enough for rising; try placing the dough in a draft-free area or in a slightly warmed oven. You can also cover it with a damp cloth to retain moisture.
