Give Rotis A Break And Spruce Up Your Meals With Dinner Rolls

Rotis and rice are two staples that accompany every vegetable preparation in Indian households. But, there may be times when you crave for a change. Constant is boring. So, you can rattle things up a bit and try having dinner rolls instead or roti with your veggies and gravies. Dinner roll is a small loaf of bread, which is mostly round in shape and fluffy in texture. It can be served as a whole or cut into thin slices or can also be cut partially and stuffed to make a delicious bun. Don't we all love pav bhaji?

Classic Dinner Roll Recipe

Ingredients:
5 cups all-purpose flour (you may use wheat flour also if you want to avoid refined white flour)
2 cups warm milk
2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 egg

Preparation:
Step 1 - In a large bowl, combine flour, egg, yeast, sugar and salt, and set aside.
Step 2 - In a separate pan, heat butter, sugar and warm milk and then pour the melted liquid on the dry ingredients. Whisk and mix well.
Step 3 - Gently knead the mixture into soft and elastic dough.
Step 4 - Transfer the dough on to a greased bowl and cover with sheer plastic wrap. Let it rise for around 60 minutes.
Step 5 - Remove the wrap and punch down the dough. Now, divide the dough into fist-sized round balls. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet or dish and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit and rise for half an hour.
Step 6 - Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Celsius and place the baking dish in the oven and cook at the same temperature till the balls are cooked through and turn light brown. This may take between 15 and 20 minutes time.
Take out the rolls, coat them with melted butter and serve.
