Description
Soft, pillowy, and sweet homemade bread rolls that mimic the famous Raising Cane’s side, complete with a tangy, spicy garlic-vinegar dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 to 3.5 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Knead for 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springs back when poked. Add more flour if too sticky.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with cling wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 45-60 minutes until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Cover loosely and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in garlic powder, vinegar, sugar, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper.
- As soon as rolls come out of the oven, brush tops generously with the garlic-vinegar butter mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Ensure milk is between 105°F and 115°F to activate yeast without killing it. Do not skip the second rise for light, airy texture. For extra softness, wrap rolls in a clean kitchen towel immediately after brushing with butter to trap steam.
