These Homemade Mini Slider Rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches or as a side to any meal. Made with simple ingredients, these rolls are brushed with an egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden crust. Ideal for sliders or dinner rolls, they can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 37 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini slider rolls

Ingredients

Dough

  • ½ cup (120mL) warm milk (whole milk preferred, around 110ºF / 43ºC)
  • 1½ Tablespoons (19g) granulated sugar
  • 1⅛ teaspoons (3.5g) dry active yeast (or half a packet; not instant or rapid rise)
  • 3 Tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 2½ cups (240-270g) all-purpose flour

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Proof the Yeast: In a stand mixer bowl or large mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk and sugar until combined. Sprinkle the dry active yeast evenly over the surface, whisk gently again to combine, then let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy and proofed.
  2. Mix Dough Ingredients: Once the yeast is active, add melted butter, room temperature egg, and salt. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
  3. Add Flour and Form Dough: Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients. Using a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer or a spatula for hand mixing, blend until a soft dough forms. The dough will be a bit shaggy but should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 8-10 minutes, adding flour one tablespoon at a time if too sticky. Work the dough until it becomes smooth, elastic, and similar in texture to PlayDoh. Alternatively, continue kneading with the dough hook.
  5. First Rise: Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 60-90 minutes.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Gently deflate the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 12-inch long rectangle or log shape, then cut into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  8. Form Dough Balls: Shape each piece into a ball by flattening into a small square and pulling each corner to the center, pinching to seal. Place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging evenly in 4 rows of 3.
  9. Second Rise: Cover the dish loosely with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise at room temperature for 1 hour until puffy.
  10. Preheat Oven and Apply Egg Wash: Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and position the rack in the middle. Whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash, then gently brush all the rolls’ tops evenly.
  11. Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown on top. Check for even coloration and doneness.
  12. Cool and Store: Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving. These rolls freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating or serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the egg wash with melted butter for a softer sheen on the rolls.
  • Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Proofing times may vary depending on room temperature; warmer rooms will speed up rising.
  • If dough is sticky during kneading, add flour gradually to avoid tough rolls.
  • These rolls are perfect for making sliders or serving as classic dinner rolls.
