Mik-Infused Soft Rolls

These soft rolls incorporate mik (a fermented milk product) into the dough, resulting in a slightly tangy flavor and tender, airy texture. The dough is mixed, kneaded, shaped, and baked until golden brown, producing a warm, inviting bread with a subtle yeasty aroma and a chewy crumb.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup mik fermented milk product, slightly tangy
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Bench scraper or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir together until evenly distributed; this creates a dry base for your dough.
  2. Pour the mik into the dry mixture, then add the melted butter. Use a spatula or spoon to stir until the ingredients start to come together into a shaggy dough.
    2 cups all-purpose flour
  3. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, soft, and slightly tacky to the touch. You may need to add a little more flour if it's too sticky.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size and appears puffy.
  5. After the first rise, punch down the dough gently to release excess air, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a round ball.
  6. Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Cover them loosely with a towel and let them rest for another 15 minutes to relax the gluten and improve oven spring.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  8. Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to enjoy their warm, soft, and slightly tangy crumb.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, brush the tops with melted butter and a sprinkle of sea salt immediately after baking.
