These beautiful rolls, enriched with butter and eggs, are a snap to make once you get the hang of shaping the braid.
Ingredients
1 2/3 cups 2% reduced fat milk (room temperature)
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 ounce active dry yeast
2 3/4 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Mix milk, flour, yeast, salt, sugar, butter and eggs using a dough hook at low speed. Increase speed to medium, and mix until dough, when stretched, forms a fine membrane or window (about 15 minutes).
2. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 1 hour.
3. Portion dough into 2-ounce balls (about the size of a small lime). Roll each ball to form a rope about 15 inches long on a lightly floured surface. Braid into a knot. (See photo and instructions on page 3.) Place on baking sheet.
4. Let rolls rise 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.
5. Brush rolls lightly with beaten egg. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 24.
