Cooking Directions
-
Mix milk and water in a pot over low heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pot reads 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Remove from heat. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Pour mixture into a cup or other cylindrical glass; sprinkle yeast on top. Let mixture rest until yeast is frothy and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
-
Stir flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
-
Turn dough out on a floured work surface and knead quickly for 5 minutes. Shape dough into a ball. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add dough; toss around the bowl a few times to coat evenly with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
-
Return dough back to the work surface and punch down. Coat your hands with a little olive oil and knead again for 1 minute. Divide into 5 balls. Flatten balls out into thick rectangles. Place rectangles of dough onto a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with a thin coat of olive oil. Let rest for 20 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while dough rests.
-
Bake bread in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Switch to the broil setting until the tops of rolls turn golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Cut rolls in half lengthwise.
Tips
For an Italian taste, I add 1/8 cup of one or more of the following: rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and sometimes cut-up Kalamata olives. I top bread with thin onion slices, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Or for a kick, I add 1/8 cup of one or more of the following: jarred jalapeño slices or diced fresh jalapeños, shredded Cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and red onion. I top bread with additional shredded Cheddar cheese and jalapeños.
For a flavor that mimics Red Lobster Cheddar biscuits, I add 1/8 cup of the following: cayenne pepper, garlic powder, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and dried parsley. I top bread with extra shredded Cheddar and parsley.
