Bread Baking: Milchbrötchen - German sweet bread rolls

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free alternative while margarine is often more cost-effective.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, and the powdered milk mix can be cheaper.

Add the butter in pieces to the milk.

Heat the milk in the microwave just enough to melt the butter, but it shouldn’t feel too hot.

Add the sugar and yeast to the milk.

In a large mixing bowl, add about half the flour and salt.

Mix in the milk mixture, vanilla, and egg.

Combine with a spoon.

Stir in as much of the rest of the flour as you can.

Knead in the rest of the flour until you get a bread dough consistency that is soft, but not sticky.

Knead for a minute or two.

Allow to rise for about an hour.

Knead briefly again.

Roll into rolls and place in a buttered baking dish.

Allow to rise for another half an hour.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes or until just golden brown.
