Roll the dough and form it into a rectangle of approximately 1/8 th thickness.

I rolled it into 18 inch x 11 inch rectangle.

Make some markings on top so that we can divide them equally.

I divided the sheet into 12 equal pieces.

Then shape them by rolling each small piece of dough.

Place each of them on to a prepared baking tray ,baking tray greased with butter and lined with a parchment paper.

Now our dough is ready for the final rising.

Cover the baking tray and Let them rise.

4.Final rising

Let the dough sit and rise in warm environment for 60 minutes.

Give the bread rolls a good egg wash so that they will look golden brown with a shine on top after baking.

We can prepare the egg wash by lightly beating an egg.

5.Bake the no knead dinner rolls

Bake the no knead dinner rolls at 350 F preheated oven for 22-24 minutes.

The top of the dinner rolls or bread rolls will start browning at around 18 minutes of baking.It doesn’t mean our yeast rolls are done.

At this point if we take it out, the center of the bread rolls will have a doughy texture and it will smell very “yeasty”

So wait for 24 minutes to bake it properly.

When the bread rolls is done,take the tray out from the oven.

Demould the dinner rolls so that it will not get soggy .

If you want your crust to be more soft,smear the top with some butter.

These homemade bread rolls will be golden brown in color, with a thin soft crust and soft and fluffy crumb inside.
