Coconut oil is dairy-free and provides healthy fats.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

In a bowl, add bread flour, cold milk, dried yeast, and granulated sugar, stir until just combined.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, and springs back when pressed on with your fingers and is no longer sticky.

Transfer the kneaded dough to a greased bowl, rise in a warm oven for 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 12 pieces, shape into round balls, and place them on a prepared tray for a second rise for another 30 minutes.

Sprinkle some flour over the top before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 18 minutes.
