4 Ingredient Bread Rolls: Soft, Fluffy, and Simple

These 4-ingredient bread rolls are perfect for anyone who loves soft, golden, fluffy bread straight from the oven. Made with just pantry staples, you can create rolls that practically melt in your mouth without any complicated steps or fancy ingredients. Perfect for beginners and busy cooks, these rolls offer a soft, warm texture and a golden crust every time.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (not hot!)

  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the surface becomes foamy.

  • Add Flour and Knead: Gradually add the flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon or your hands. Once it forms a dough, knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  • First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  • Shape the Rolls: Punch the dough down, divide it into 8-10 pieces, and shape into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

 

  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have puffed up, bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is warm (100-110°F) to activate the yeast.

  • If the dough is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of flour while kneading.

 

  • For a shiny finish, brush the baked rolls with melted butter.
