Easy Ensaymada Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

• for the rolls:

• 2 and ¼ cup all purpose flour + ½ cup reserved

• 3 tbsp granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 and ¼ tsp active dry yeast ( I used Fleischmann’s)

• 1 egg

• 40 g butter

• ½ cup water

• ¼ cup milk

• for the filling:

• 60 g butter, softened

• 3 tbsp sugar, for sprinkling

• for the butter and milk glaze:

• 60g butter,softened

• 5 tbsp powdered sugar

• ¼ cup milk

Instructions

1. Combine 2 and ¼ cup flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt and 2 and ¼ tsp yeast in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, melt 40 g of butter in the microwave then add in the milk and water. This mixture should have a temperature of 115-120 F. If the mixture is still below 115 F, Re-heat the bowl in the microwave until the correct temperature is reached.

3. Add the butter-milk-water solution to the dry ingredients in the large bowl and begin mixing. Add the egg and add flour from the reserved ½ cup but add very sparingly. All you need is for the dough to come together into a sphere in the center of the bowl.It should pull away from the sides of the bowl.

4. After your dough has gathered into a ball, it has a sticky texture and is a loosely shaped ball. On a surface or baking mat lightly dusted with flour, knead the dough until gluten has developed.
