1. In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add oil/butter, egg, salt, and flour.

Choose any filling and mix together. Keep aside.

3. Shape the Rolls

2. Flatten each ball, add 1–2 tbsp filling, then seal tightly like a bun.
3. Place on a baking tray lined with paper.

4. Final Rise

Let the stuffed rolls rest for 20–30 minutes.

5. Bake

Tips for Super Soft Rolls

• Use warm (not hot) milk.
• Knead the dough well until elastic.
• Don’t overbake — remove when lightly golden.
• Cover with a clean towel after baking to keep them fluffy.
