Bollos de Leche

Bollos de Leche are soft, fluffy milk rolls that make for a delightful and comforting Spanish breakfast. Perfectly paired with jam or honey, these rolls are a delicious start to the day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Whole milk - 150 ml
• Granulated sugar - 30 grams
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Unsalted butter - 30 grams, melted
• Egg - 1 large
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - for sprinkling

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and the yeast mixture.
3. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead it on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a lined baking tray.
6. Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 15 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the rolls with a little milk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
