Ingredients
1 cup warm water (about 110 °F)
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp avocado oil
1 large egg
1 tsp salt
2⅓ cups all-purpose flour (plus more as needed)
2 Tbsp milk (for brushing)
2 Tbsp melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add avocado oil, egg, and salt. Mix in 2 cups of flour, using the dough hook. Gradually add remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides.
- Knead on low speed for 2 minutes. Cover and let rise 20–30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch dish. Turn dough onto floured surface, divide into 15 pieces, shape into balls, and place in dish.
- Let rise 15–30 minutes until doubled. Brush tops with milk.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and internal temp is 190°F.
- Cool 1–2 minutes and brush with melted butter. Serve warm.
Notes
- Add herbs or garlic to butter for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat flour for a heartier roll.
- Sweeten lightly for breakfast-style pull-aparts.
- Freeze individually for future meals.
