Milk bread rolls with Platinum Yeast from Red Star

I have been a long time fan of using Platinum ® Yeast from Red Star ®. It never lets me down and baking success has never been this easy. You can count on it and enjoy your made-from-scratch moments.

Since we live and work on the ranch, our family is together pretty much all of the time. We enjoy this lifestyle and being able to share every part of our day with our kids, cooking included!

We really make cooking a family affair. Rather we are grilling or baking yeast rolls, help is always welcome and I am proud to say all three of our sons are good cooks!

I was able to talk Emmet, our fifteen year old, into helping out with the milk bread, it was his first time shaping rolls and he did great. 

Ingredients for Milk Bread Honey Buns

How to Make Milk Bread Honey Buns:

Making a Tangzhong for Milk Bread

For the Tangzhong:

Milk bread starts with a Tangzhong, which is a warm flour, milk and water paste. It is a Japanese method and it makes the bread so incredibly tender, soft and fluffy. 

  • Combine flour with water and milk and whisk together in a saucepan and whisk together. Heat over medium heat, whisking until thickened. 
  • Pour into a mixer bowl and allow to come to room temperature. 

Making milk bread yeast rolls

For the Dough:

  • Combine flour and yeast together in a bowl. 
  • Add milk, milk honey egg and salt to the Tangzhong, stirring to break up the egg. 

Mixing yeast and flour into Tangzhong for milk bread

  • Add flour and yeast mixture and mix on medium-low speed using the dough hook until dough comes together. Add butter a little at a time until incorporated. Dough will be shaggy and sticking to the sides of the bowl.

*Note: I added the butter with the egg and milk -rolls still turned out fine. 

  • Raise speed to medium and continue mixing until dough is smooth, about 10 – 15 minutes.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and set aside to rise until doubled. 

Risen milk bread dough in a bowl

  • Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. This will firm up the dough enough to shape.

Dough divided into roll size pieces

  • Cut dough into 15-16 equal pieces. 

Shaping milk bread honey buns - Platinum Moments

  • Shape dough into rolls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

Egg wash for baking milk bread rolls

  • Loosely cover and let rise to double in size. 
  • Brush with egg wash.

Yeast Rolls ready for the oven with egg wash

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°.

  1. They look Delicious! What a handsome son you have along being a great helper in the kitchen as well.

  2. Great recipe! Was looking for a good dairy free recipe and this is it. I used almond milk and plant butter sticks.

  3. Where is the actual recipe that I can print off? You gave the option to email me the recipe and it brought me back here. I do not keep my computer with me. This is much to complicated if I am not able to print off the recipe. Have the measurements. Not worth the hassle.

  4. I have looked too many times for the amounts of the ingredients.
    I had the recipe emailed to me and it still doesn’t show the amounts. Is it a secret?
    I’d like to try making them but I’m frustrated trying to look for them. 🤦‍♀️
