Blender Bread Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup warm milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or instant)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Blend the Wet Base
When you blend everything together, the blender bread rolls come out smooth and fluffy.In a blender, combine the warm milk, eggs, oil, sugar, salt, and yeast. Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth and bubbly. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy—proof that your yeast is alive and active.
2. Add Flour
Gradually add in the flour—half a cup at a time—while blending on low. The dough should be sticky but not overly runny. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover.
3. Let It Rise
Let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size. This is a good time to prep your pans or check out Pineapple Juice Cake from BrandiRecipes if you’re in the mood for something sweet for dessert.
4. Shape & Rise Again
Oil your hands and shape the dough into 12–16 balls. Place on a parchment-lined pan with a little spacing. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffed.
5. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown on top and hollow-sounding when tapped.
6. Optional Butter Glaze
For shine and flavor, brush the hot rolls with melted butter after baking.
