Ingredients 

Let's gather all the ingredients before we start to make the brown butter scallion milk bread rolls. You'll need the following:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped


Preparing the Brown Butter

We will start by making brown butter in order to give our bread rolls a unique nutty flavour. Try these easy steps:
  1. Place the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once melted, continue cooking the butter until it turns a golden brown color.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brown butter cool slightly.

Preparing the Scallions

We'll cook the scallions next, which will give our rolls a delicious taste and aroma:
  1. The scallions should be properly washed in cold water.
  2. After drying them with a paper towel, cut them up finely.

Making the Dough

Now, let's move on to making the dough for our brown butter scallion milk bread rolls:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Gradually add the milk and brown butter to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Shaping the Rolls

Follow these techniques to give our bread rolls an inviting shape:
  1. Create equal-sized portions of the dough.
  2. Form a ball out of each serving size.
  3. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet that has been oiled, allowing room between each one for expansion.

Proofing the Rolls

It's time to wait for the rolls to rise and flavour to develop:
  1. Using plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, cover the baking sheet.
  2. The rolls should proof for about 1-2 hours, or until they have doubled in size, in a warm, draft-free place.

Baking the Rolls

It's time to bake the rolls until they are perfectly brown after they have risen:
  • Set your oven's temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • The rolls should be baked for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • The rolls should be taken out of the oven as it becomes golden brown and let to cool on a wire rack.

Finishing Touches

To add a final touch to your brown butter scallion milk bread rolls, consider brushing the tops with melted butter and sprinkling additional chopped scallions on top. This will enhance the flavor and appearance of the rolls.

Tips and Tricks

  • You can use bread flour in place of all-purpose flour for a softer texture.
  • Try experimenting with various herbs and spices to create your own unique flavour for your rolls.
