Servings 16 rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup potato starch or instant dried mashed potato
  • 3 tablespoons dried milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 cup warm water more or less, depending on the flour’s quality
  • 1/2 cup warm milk

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients until the dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a buttered container, and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 60–90 minutes).
  • Once risen, gently punch down the dough to remove air and divide it into 16 pieces to form 16 buns.
  • Lightly butter 23 cm (9-inch) baking pans. Arrange the buns as desired:
    - For buns that stick together, place them close in the pan.
    - For separate buns, use larger pans for more space between them.
  • Cover the pans and let the buns rise again until they are puffy and touching each other (about 60–90 minutes).
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).Bake the buns for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush the buns with 1–2 tablespoons of melted butter for a shiny, irresistible finish.
