Dinner Rolls

This is the my very first attempt on dinner rolls. I baked breads and buns before but never tried baking dinner rolls and thought of giving it a go. To my surprise it turns out really well. Any good bread dough require the best yeast and perfect temperature of milk or water. The sugar works as "food" for the yeast to grow and the end result is a soft and smooth buns or breads. Too hot or too cold liquid will kill the yeast and prevent the proofing which, will yield dense flat bread. The key is perfect liquid temperature,good quality yeast and a good kneading. Do not over knead or under knead your dough. With all this simple rules, i managed to come up with this beautiful soft and spongy dinner rolls. For the extra shine just brush with melted butter the moment the buns are out frm the oven. We all do need a bit of touch up aren't we? The same goes to baked goodies 🤓🤪. Serve warm or cool it on wire rack and place in a ziplock bag. It stays good for up to 3-4 days. You may decrease or double up the recepi easily but make sure to follow the right measurement. Slab with generous amount of cold butter,fruit jam or marmalade and enjoy...that's how we enjoyed the beautiful dinner rolls for our next day breakfast.
