Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast (approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- Extra flour for dusting
- Additional melted brown butter for brushing
Instructions
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it feels warm to the touch. Remove from heat, add sugar and yeast, and stir gently. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, swirling gently. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, eggs, and cooled brown butter. Mix until combined.
- Knead the dough in the bowl, gradually adding flour until it forms a soft dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Deflate the dough, roll it out, sprinkle chopped sage, and fold it into the dough.
- Divide the dough into small balls, arrange in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with melted brown butter, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot for yeast activation. Adjust flour based on humidity for the right dough consistency.
