How to make Bread Rolls or Buns

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until it comes together as a dough.
Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until smooth.
Pull the dough into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 24 pieces or more.
Shape the pieces into balls and place them in a greased pan. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 15 to 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Bake rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown for 15-20 minutes.
Whisk together sugar and boiling water and brush the top when the buns are done baking.
Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Tricks

Ensure the milk or water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Knead the dough thoroughly to develop the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure.
For a shiny top, brush the rolls with a mixture of sugar and boiling water immediately after baking.
