Beautifully soft Portuguese rolls that pair perfectly with just about anything. My personal favourites being a juicy prego roll or to simply dunk in a spicy stew such as a traditional trinchado.

Ingredients

180g (6 oz) warm water

140g (5 oz) milk

20g (1 oz) butter

7g (1/4 oz or 1 packet) dried yeast

7g (1/4 oz) sugar

500g (1 lbs 2 oz) bread flour

7g (1/4 oz) salt

Instructions

Add the milk, water, sugar and yeast to your mixing bowl and let stand for 5 minutes for the the yeast to activate.

Add flour, butter and salt and mix in your stand mixer for 5 to 10 minutes until you have a soft dough. This dough is going to have a smoother softer texture than normal bread dough because of the addition of milk and butter.

Tip dough out into a oiled bowl and cover with cling film or a clean tea towel. Let stand in a warm spot for 1 hour.

After 1 hour split dough into 12 equal peices and roll them into balls. Pinch each side for that traditional look and place them on to a lined baking sheet.

Slash each piece of dough with a sharp knife and cover with a clean tea towel for another hour. Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).

Once rolls have doubled in size sprinkle with flour and bake in the centre of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until brown.

Transfer to a cooling rack. Best served warm or cool completely for storage.
