Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour essential for that soft texture
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast ensures the rolls rise perfectly
  • 1 cup warmed milk activates the yeast; warm to about 110°F
  • 0.5 cup brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor
  • 10 leaves fresh sage, chopped brings a delightful earthiness
  • 1 tbsp sugar helps activate the yeast and adds a touch of sweetness
  • 1 tsp salt enhances all the flavors

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Pan
  • Baking Sheet
  • Towel
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Begin by warming your milk to around 110°F. This temperature is crucial for activating the yeast.
  2. In a bowl, combine the warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until golden brown, then add chopped sage leaves during the last minute.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to ensure even distribution.
  5. Pour activated yeast mixture and browned butter-sage blend into dry ingredients, stirring to form a sticky dough.
  6. Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  7. Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  8. Once risen, punch down the dough, divide into small balls, and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Allow rolls to rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
  10. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
