• Yeast - In a large bowl of the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Combine the warm milk (110 F), yeast, and sugar.
  180 g Warm milk, 5 g Instant dry yeast, 30 g Sugar
• Combine -Add the flour and salt. Combine well on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until all the flour is well incorporated.
  355 g All-purpose flour, 6 g Kosher salt
• Knead - Continue to knead on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, add the butter and continue to knead for 2 to 3 minutes more until you have a soft, smooth, and elastic dough.
  50 g Unsalted butter, room temperature
• Bowl - When the dough is soft and shiny, but still slightly sticky shape it into a ball. Place the dough in an oiled bowl seam side down. Coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent drying. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
• Rise - Leave in a warm place. Let rise for 60 to 90 minutes until it doubles in volume.
• Punch - When the dough doubles in volume transfer it to a well-dusted floured surface. Punch down and reshape into a ball. Then roll it into a small log.
• Divide - Using a dough scraper divide this log into four portions and then each of those portions into 3 again. This should give you 12 dinner rolls.

Shape and bake

• Shape - Hold each piece of dough in your hand and gather all the seams together. Pinch the seams at the bottom then place the ball on a non-floured surface while still holding it in your hand. Loosen the grip on the dough and roll it back and forth into a tight circle against the work surface. You will feel the dough become tight and smooth.
• Proof - Grease or spray a 9 x 9 square baking pan. Place the rolls in the pan. Seam side down. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes until almost double in size.
• Oven - When the rolls are almost double in volume at about 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 375°F /190°C / Gas Mark 5
• Egg wash - Brush the rolls with milk, cream, or egg wash.
  2 tbsp Milk
• Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes until lightly golden on top. When baked brush with melted butter
• Cool - Take them out of the pan and cover them with a clean kitchen cloth for at least 5 minutes to keep them soft
