These buttery, rich, and soft knotted rolls have a melt-in-the-mouth texture. They are made from scratch with my no-kneadcrescent dough that's surprisingly simple and easy to make.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, eggs, and yeast. Then add the flour, salt, and butter in three batches using a spatula or wooden spoon to ensure the ingredients are well combined. This is a soft and sticky dough.
240 ml Warm Milk, 6 g Instant dry yeast, 30 g Sugar, 100 g Eggs, 50 g Butter, 400 g Bread or All-purpose flour, 6 g Salt
First Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Knots: Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Divide it into 12 equal portions (about 65-70 g each). Roll each portion into a rope (about 10-12 inches long), tie it into a knot, and tuck the ends underneath.
Proof: Arrange the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let them rise for 30-45 minutes or until puffed.
Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash for a shiny, golden crust. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
2 tbsp melted Butter, 1/2 Beaten egg
Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Optionally, brush with more melted butter for extra softness and flavor.
