Yield: 12 servings
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Standing Time: 2 hours
Cooking Time: 30 mins


Ingredients:

• 7 gms dry active yeast
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
• eggwash
• extra flour for dusting

Method:

1. Take a lukewarm water in a bowl. Add sugar to it and mix it. Sprinkle yeast to it. Mix it and keep it aside in a warm place. I generally keep it in a non heated oven.
2. Once this mixture is frothy, it is ready to use further.
3. Take a flour in a mixing bowl. Make in well at center. Add the above mixture, salt, water and milk.
4. Knead this till a soft dough. You can use spatula or a mixer with paddle attachment/hook or can do it with your hands. Dough at this stage is little sticky but don't worry, after kneading it thoroughly with hands and using butter, it will stop sticking.
5. Dust the plain and clean surface with flour. Take a soft dough on this surface and knead it with your hand. 
6. Use butter while kneading. Kneading at this stage should be done very well and for atleast 10 mins till dough doesn't stick to your hand. Make sure dough should be moist enough. Do not add too much flour. Use flour only for dusting. Do not directly add it to dough.
7. Put a dough in a greased mixing bowl. Apply some oil on dough as well and cover it with a cling wrap or a damped cloth.
8. Rest this dough for 45 min to 1 hour till it gets doubled.
9. Once dough has got doubled, punch the air in it. Knead it only to form a dough.
10. Make 12 even parts. Keep them in a greased and floured baking tray at small distance from each other.
11. Cover a tray and rest it for another 30 mins.
12. After 30 minutes, small balls have risen doubled and have come closer to each other.
13. Preheat oven at 375 degree F.
14. Apply Eggwash or only milk on dough with soft brush or a tissue paper. Bake for 25-30 mins. Switch off the oven. Remove tray after 3-4 minutes.
15. Apply butter on top of each roll which makes them to shine and taste even better.
16. Your White Dinner Rolls are ready to eat. Serve hot with Pav-Bhaji, Pakoda\Kanda Bhaji, Misal. You can even use them for Kachhi Dabeli.
