Bread (Dessert) - Monay (Filipino Bread Rolls)

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Bread (Dessert) - Monay (Filipino Bread Rolls)

4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup powdered milk
1 packet active dry yeast
1 1/2 Cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
1/2 Cup sugar
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 egg yolks
Cooking spray or vegetable oil, for coating the pan

In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and powdered milk together. Set aside. Meanwhile, in another bowl mix the yeast with 1 ½ cups of the warm water. Make sure that the yeast is active, meaning bubbles should be visible. Add the sugar and give it a stir. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 2 egg yolks. Now, mix both the yeast mixture and the butter mixture together. Slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients together until it becomes a dough. Knead the dough and form a ball. Put the dough in a bowl and cover it with a kitchen cloth. Leave it for 2 hours until the dough doubles its size. (An alternative is put the dough in a 180-degree oven for 30-40 minutes.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Knead the dough again for about 5 minutes. Form a log and slice it into the desired size. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or vegetable oil and arrange the rolls on the pan. Beat the remaining yolk and water together in a bowl to form an egg wash. Brush the egg wash on top of the rolls. Bake until the tops turn golden brown, about 20 minutes.
