Basic Buns / Rolls

This will be my first bun / bread recipe I will show you. This is what i call my "Basic Buns" or "Basic Rolls". They are very easy to make, and they are so delicious! These buns is not very light, they are more on the dense side, but they are still nice and soft.








For 12 buns / rolls, you will need:

3½ - 4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 package (about 11 grams) of dry yeast, or 50 grams of fresh yeast.
1/4 cup (about 50 grams) of white granulated sugar
1/3 cup (about 76 grams) of butter 
1 cup (about 235,59 ml) of milk
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of flavorless oil for the bowl

- In a small pot, heat together the milk and butter, until the butter is melted. Pour this in a large bowl. You know your mixture is ready for the yeast when the mixture is a little bit warmer than the temperature of your pinky-finger (you just put your pinky finger in the mixture and feel the temperature). When it's at that temperature, add the sugar, salt and yeast while mixing it together. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
- After the yeast is activated, add in the eggs and stir them in.
- Add the flour bit by bit, when it's too hard to mix using a spoon, then dump it on your work surface, and knead the dough using your hands, until the dough comes together.
- Put in the 1 tablespoon of oil in the bowl, and roll the dough in the oil, until the dough is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let it rise for about 1 1/2-2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, dump the dough onto a lightly
floured surface. Roll it into a log, and cut the dough in 12 equal pieces.
- Form each piece of dough into a ball and put them on a bakingsheet covered with baking paper.
- Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let the buns rise for about an hour. At this point, preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit (about 190,5 degrees celsius).
- After the buns has risen again, remove the kitchen towel and the plastic wrap.
- Bake the buns in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Enjoy!
