Ingredients
60 ml warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
8 g vanilla sugar
250 ml warm milk
80 g melted butter
500–550 g all-purpose flour
For Brushing
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, warm milk, and melted butter. Add the activated yeast mixture.
Add the Flour
Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let It Rise
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Rolls
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls or rolls. Arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Second Rise
Cover again and let rise for 20–30 minutes until puffy.
Brush & Bake
Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush over the tops. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, honey, or a cup of tea or coffee.
Soft, sweet, and irresistibly fluffy — these homemade vanilla bread rolls are pure comfort in every bite!
