Sous Vide Dinner Rolls

Ingredients for 8

• 1/3 cup (79 mL) whole milk

• 3 tablespoons (44 mL) unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for serving

• 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 mL) granulated sugar

• 3/4 teaspoon (4mL) salt

• 1 large egg

• 2 teaspoons (10 mL) active dry yeast

• 1 3/4 cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour

Directions

• 

  Step 1

  Combine butter and milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently heat just until the butter has melted. Transfer to a large bowl. (Alternatively, microwave the butter and milk until butter is melted.)

• 

  Step 2

  Whisk in sugar and salt until dissolved. Let the mixture cool until just warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in egg and yeast.

• 

  Step 3

  Add flour and stir to form a shaggy dough.

• 

  Step 4

  Transfer dough to a lightly-floured counter and knead until dough is soft and springy, 3 to 5 minutes. Roll dough to form a ball.

• 

  Step 5

  Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

• 

  Step 6

  Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 195ºF (90.5ºC). Generously grease 8 half-pint canning jars with non-stick oil spray or butter.

• 

  Step 7

  Turn dough out onto a lightly-floured counter. Roll into a short log. Slice log into 8 equal pieces.

• 

  Step 8

  Take one portion of dough and flatten into a square. Fold in all four corners of the square towards the center.

• 

  Step 9

  Flip square over so the seam is on the bottom. Pinch seam together with your thumb and pointer finger to form a taught ball. Roll on the counter, seam side down, to seal. Repeat with remaining dough.

• 

  Step 10

  Transfer each dough ball, seam side down, to the prepared jars. Cover jars with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

• 

  Step 11

  Place lids and bands on jars and seal until just tight (do not over-tighten jars; air will still need to escape). Place jars in water bath and set the timer for 3 hours.

• Finishing Steps

• 

  Step 0

  When the timer goes off, remove the jars from the water bath and transfer to a kitchen towel. Carefully remove the lids. Flip jars and gently tap on the towel to remove the rolls. Serve with additional softened butter.
