Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
Add the water into a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds or until it is lukewarm. Transfer it to the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix in the active dry yeast together with 1 tablespoon from your sugar. Let it set for 5 minutes. It will create foam on top.
While your yeast is getting activated, add the milk into a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds or until it is lukewarm.
Add the rest of the ingredients in this order to your yeast preparation: egg, cooled melted butter, warm milk, sugar, milk powder and sea salt. Whisk until blended.
Then, add the all-purpose flour all at once and with the hook on, knead on the lowest setting of your stand mixer for 7 minutes. Do not hesitate to scrap the dough around for time to time. Then, knead for an additional minute on medium speed. Your dough is ready once it holds together and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
RISE AND ASSEMBLY
Place the dough rolled into a ball into a clean bowl, massage with oil all around and cover with a plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour at room temperature or 45 minutes in a turned off preheated oven (100F/37C). It will double in size.
Once the dough has doubled, scrape it out onto the Roul'Pat™.
Knead lightly into a ball. Weight your dough and divide it into 12 segments (Mine was 33.02oz / 936g so 2.75oz / 78g each).Take each segment and roll it into a ball.
Arrange each one directly onto your Bonmat. Use your kitchen scissors make a deep cut in each ball halfway, but not all the way through.
Let it rise for 10 minutes while your oven is preheating to 350F/180C.
BAKE!
Brush the egg wash (egg + milk) on top and sides of your rolls.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Bread from 18min). It is ready when golden brown and does not feel hallow to the touch.
Once your Monay Bread Rolls is out of the oven, let it cool down directly on the Bonmat or onto your cooling rack. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
N.B. Like many bread these rolls are best enjoyed the day they are baked.
