Ingredients

600 g	plain flour
175 ml	water
175 ml	milk
100 g	sugar
1 tsp	salt
5 tsp	active dried yeast
2 medium	eggs
125 g	butter, melted

Method

Preparation time: ca. 30 min Resting time: ca. 3 hrs / Grade of difficulty: medium / Calories per portion: n/a

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C, 400°F.

Lightly grease 2 medium or large baking trays.

Place the flour in a large bowl and set aside.

Place the milk, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Do not allow to boil. Cool until just warm.

Add the eggs and yeast and beat gently together. Pour onto flour, cover loosely and allow to stand for about 20 minutes.

Melt the butter in a small pan and pour into flour mixture. Stir ingredients together and add a little extra flour if the mixture is sticky. Knead lightly until smooth, cover and allow to rise in a war place for about 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Shape into balls or slightly elongated stubby rolls, cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake for about 15 minutes until light brown in colour. Cool on wire tray.

Option:
Divide dough into 20 pieces for slightly smaller rolls or into 12 pieces, more suited for filling, if desired. Smaller rolls will require a slightly smaller baking time, 12-15 minutes, larger ones about 15-20 minutes.
