Soft and Airy Homemade Bread Rolls

1.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.

4.Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gently mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-kneading to keep the rolls light and airy.

5.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a ball. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a smooth round roll.

6.Place the rolls spaced evenly on the prepared baking tray. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 minutes to rise slightly.

7.Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

8.Remove from the oven and transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
