Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing, optional

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper. This prevents the rolls from sticking and helps them bake evenly.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Whisk everything together until well combined. This helps the baking powder spread evenly in the dough.

Add the Wet Ingredients

  • Pour the milk and mayonnaise into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spoon or spatula. Mix until a soft dough forms and no dry flour remains.

Check the Dough Texture

  • The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. If it feels too dry, add one tablespoon of milk. Do not overmix the dough because it may make the rolls dense.

Shape the Rolls

  • Use a spoon or your hands to scoop small portions of dough. Shape them into round balls. Place them in the prepared baking pan with a little space between each roll.

Smooth the Tops

  • Lightly smooth the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the back of a spoon. This step helps the rolls bake evenly and look neat.

Bake the Rolls

  • Place the baking pan in the oven. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes. The tops should turn light golden brown when the rolls are ready.

Brush with Butter

  • Remove the rolls from the oven. Brush melted butter over the tops while they are warm. This adds extra flavor and gives them a soft shiny finish.

Cool Slightly Before Serving

  • Let the rolls cool for about five minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle without breaking.

Notes

  • Use full-fat mayonnaise for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough. It should stay soft and light.
  • Bake the rolls until the tops turn light golden brown.
  • Brush warm rolls with butter for extra softness.
  • Use a muffin pan if you want evenly shaped rolls.
