2. Mixed all of the dried ingredients (flour, yeast and salt) thoroughly together into a bowl.
3. Add the butter and also mix well.
4. Pop a well into the top of the mix and put in some of the lukewarm water and milk and mix using your wooden spoon. Continue to mix until your dough forms.
5. Now that your dough has formed you can start to knead it until it is elastic and smooth.  If you are unfamiliar with how to knead please watch the video below as this shows you how to effectively knead the dough.
6. Break your dough down and roll into shape.
7. Pop your dough on to a ready greased tray, cover and leave to rise somewhere warm until they are double their size (approx 30-4o minutes). You will need to leave gaps between the rolls to allow them to rise.
8. Now they have risen they are ready to put into your home oven. Now bake the bread rolls in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 7, 220°C, fan oven 200°C for 15 to 20 minutes.  They should be a lovely golden brown colour. You can check they are ready by tapping the bottom of the rolls if they are hollow in sound, they are fully baked and ready to eat.
