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.
How to Make Milk Bread Honey Buns:
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.
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.
- 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.
- Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. This will firm up the dough enough to shape.
- Cut dough into 15-16 equal pieces.
- Shape dough into rolls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Loosely cover and let rise to double in size.
- Brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°.
Baking with yeast doesn’t have to be intimidating. I’ve learned so much from the Red Star Yeast Baking Lessons. After a few tries, you will become more comfortable with the dough and how it should feel. So don’t hesitate, get in the kitchen and try these Milk Bread Honey Buns!
