Heat the milk to
lukewarm, pour into a large bowl and stir in the
sugar, butter and yeast. Leave for 15 minutes. Stir
in the egg and salt. Gradually stir in 475g/11b
2oz/4 1/2 cups of the flour. Add just enough extra to
obtain a rough dough. Knead until smooth. Place in a
greased bowl, cover and leave in a warm place until
doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Grease two 12-cup
bun trays. Punch down the dough, and make 72
equal-size balls.
Place three
balls, in one layer, in each bun cup. Cover loosely
and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in
size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the oven
to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush the rolls with glaze.
Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool
slightly on a wire rack before serving.
