Cost: $3.57 total, $0.45 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk (warm (about 110°F) to activate yeast)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar (for yeast activation)
  • 2.5 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (instant or active dry)
  • 3.5 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 0.33 cup Granulated Sugar (adds sweetness to the dough)
  • 1.5 teaspoons Salt (fine sea salt)
  • 1 large Egg (room temperature)
  • 0.33 cup Unsalted Butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1.5 tablespoons Matcha Powder (culinary grade, sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil (for greasing the bowl)
  • 1 egg Egg Wash (beaten with 1 tbsp milk, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl combine the warm milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl whisk together the sifted flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, salt, and matcha powder until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Add Wet Ingredients

    Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 15 minutes, until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.

    Time: PT15M

  5. First Rise

    Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

    Time: PT1H

  6. Shape and Second Rise

    Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, divide it into two equal portions, roll each into a log about 1‑inch thick, and cut each log into 7 equal pieces (total 14 rolls). Arrange the pieces in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rest for another 1 hour until puffy.

    Time: PT1H

  7. Egg Wash

    Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon milk and brush the tops of the risen rolls lightly.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 360°F. Bake the rolls for 18 minutes, then cover the pan loosely with foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking without over‑browning.

    Time: PT28M

    Temperature: 360°F

  9. Cool and Serve

    Remove the pan from the oven, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

    Time: PT10M
