New England Style Rolls
New England Style Rolls are made from an enriched dough (which has a higher concentration of fats, sugar, and dairy) and it produces a SUPER SOFT interior and tender crumb. They are the PERFECT sandwich bread and I don’t say that lightly.
Servings: 10 rolls
Calories: 215kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm water** like warm bath water
- ¼ cup dry milk powder
- ¼ cup potato flour *NOT to be confused with potato starch
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 teaspoon sea salt flakes *Maldon sea salt flakes is my preferred brand, but any sea salt flakes should work!
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Add flour, yeast, sugar, water, dry milk, potato flour, egg, butter, and sea salt flakes to stand mixing bowl and knead for 5-8 minutes. The dough will start out sticky, but as the gluten develops it will take on a more elastic springy texture.
- Once dough feels smooth and elastic (and a tiny bit tacky) place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and a towel in a warm area to rise.
- While the dough is resting lightly grease a New England Hot Dog Bun Pan 12x18 nonstick rectangle pan or dish.
- After you have given the dough time (about an hour) to rest and rise a bit remove it from mixing bowl. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions
- Evenly space rolls on prepared baking dish leaving room for them to proof and expand. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and leave it to rise in a warm area for at least an hour. This proofing time is essential for rolls to become airy and light, so don't cut it short!
- While dough is rising preheat your oven to 375°F. Rolls should double in size and be touching. When rolls are ready for the oven whisk 1 egg and a tablespoon of water together. Gently brush the rolls with egg wash coating all the visible areas.
- Transfer rolls to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top of bread looks evenly golden brown across the top.
