Directions

Whisk all-purpose flour and pastry flour together in a medium bowl. Separate 1 egg, reserving the yolk for the egg wash. Combine the egg white with the whole egg in a small bowl and beat well, then whisk into the yeast mixture. Sprinkle 2 1/2 cups flour mixture and salt over the wet ingredients. Mix with a flexible spatula until a dough forms; it will be sticky.

Dust a clean work surface with some of the remaining flour mixture and turn the dough out onto it. Dust the dough with more flour and knead, adding additional flour mixture as needed, until you have a smooth, elastic dough, about 5 minutes. Lightly coat a large clean bowl with cooking spray. Add the dough and turn to coat. Cover with a kitchen towel and set in a warm, draft-free place to rise until tripled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix the reserved egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash lightly over the tops of the rolls. Bake, rotating the pan from front to back halfway through, until the rolls are puffed and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack set in a large rimmed baking sheet.

To prepare glaze:Mix confectioners' sugar and about 1 tablespoon lemon juice (adding more to suit your taste and until the glaze is drizzling consistency) in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Let cool for another 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
