Ingredients

For the tangzhong starter:

  • 60 g (¼ cup) Water
  • 60 g (¼ cup) Whole milk
  • 20 g (3 tablespoon) All-purpose flour

For the milk bread dough:

  • 180 g (¾ cup) Whole milk, warmed to 110 degrees F
  • 24 g (2 tablespoon) Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Instant yeast
  • 400 g (3 ¼ cup) Bread flour
  • 80 g ( cup) All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 Eggs, room temp
  • 70 g (5 tablespoon) Unsalted butter, softened
  • Egg wash, 1 egg + 2 tablespoon heavy cream

For the garlic herb infused evoo:

  • 100 g (½ cup) Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
  • 5 sprigs Fresh thyme
  • 3 cloves Fresh garlic, thinly sliced

Instructions

For the tangzhong starter:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water, milk, and flour.
  • Heat over low-medium heat, mixing frequently with a rubber spatula for about 5 minutes or until it thickens.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

For the milk bread dough:

  • In a glass measuring cup, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Allow to sit 2-3 minutes until foamy to ensure the yeast activates properly.
  • Once foamy, whisk in the egg until well combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment, combine the flours, milk powder, salt, tangzhong starter, and milk mixture.
  • Mix on medium speed until a ball forms around the hook, then add the softened butter.
  • Mix on medium-high speed for about 8 minutes until smooth and passes the windowpane test.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and place in the fridge to proof overnight. Alternatively, the dough can proof for about 1 hour in a warm environment.
  • Once proofed, divide the dough into 16 parts, about 60g each.
  • After they have been divided, shape the rolls. Flatten each dough piece into a disk, then fold the edges over into its center, forming a smooth surfaced ball. On a non-floured surface, roll the ball (seam side down) with a cupped hand until smooth. Arrange in a 9" square pan and repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Cover the rolls and allow to proof for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes in a warm environment until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush the proofed rolls with an egg wash (1 egg + 2 tablespoon heavy cream) and bake for about 20 minutes until golden and internal temp is 190 degrees F.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the garlic herb infused evoo.

For the garlic herb infused extra virgin olive oil:

  • In a small frying pan or saucepan, add the evoo, fresh herbs, and garlic. Warm on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Discard the herbs, and strain the olive oil into a jar.
  • Once the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the infused olive oil.
  • Top with fresh parsley or basil and flaky sea salt, and enjoy!
