Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 + ½ sticks (150g) butter
  • 3½ cups (525g) flour
  • 1 tbsp dried instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (250ml) warm water
Instructions
  1. Place the butter into a large saucepan (bigger than you think) and turn on a medium heat. Melt the butter, and then continue to cook until it foams up and turns a dark golden brown colour - it will take on a nutty smell.
  2. Pour the browned butter into a jug straight away (otherwise it might overcook), and set it aside.
  3. Place all the remaining ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and bring together with the dough hook into a dry dough.
  4. Measure out ⅓ cup of the browned butter and, working on a low speed, slowly stream the butter into the dough. Continue mixing until the dough comes together.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, and roll them out into oval shapes, brushing them liberally with the remaining browned butter, and then fold them over and place onto a lined baking sheet.
  6. Set them aside to rise for 20 minutes, and turn the oven on to 450F/220C.
  7. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until browned and risen. While the rolls are still warm, brush liberally with the remaining browned butter. Serve warm.
