- Slightly warm milk (not hot) :150 ml (1/2 cup +2 tbsp)
- 1 Egg
- Butter :50g (3 1/2 tbsp)
- Yeast (instant/active dried yeast):1 tsp

HOW TO MAKE QUICK DINNER ROLLS
We can make quick dinner rolls in 4 simple steps.
1.Prepare the dough
2.Divide and shape the dough
3.Proof the dough
4.Bake the dinner rolls
1.PREPARE THE QUICK DINNER ROLL DOUGH
Into a bowl,lets add all our ingredients together and mix them to form a shaggy mass of dough.
Add the milk,sugar,yeast,egg,salt ,butter and flour and mix them together.
Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface .Knead the dough until the dough become soft and elastic.
Only a well kneaded dough can produce soft and fluffy dinner rolls .
How should i know my dough is kneaded well?
We can test the doneness of dinner roll dough.
If properly kneaded, the dough should stretch, without tearing or breaking, into a thin membrane that you can see through.
If we are using bread flour it is easy to attain this stage of dough (it may take around 10 minutes of kneading).As bread dough contains more proteins than all purpose flour.
But if we are using all purpose flour,it may take longer to attain this stage of perfection.
Our bread would still be good and soft even if our dough didn’t pass this window pane test.
But if the dough passes the window pane test ,and the one hour proofing,then it is guaranteed that your bread will be super soft and fluffy.
It will be so much easier if you are using a stand mixer to prepare the dough.In a stand mixer,just knead the dough for 8-10 minutes using the dough hook attachment.
2.DIVIDE AND SHAPE THE DOUGH
Once our quick dinner roll dough is ready,divide the dough into 15 equal pieces.For more precision,i weighed each of them and they were 40-41 g in weight.
Roll each piece of dough into small balls.tuck in the edges towards the centre and roll the balls into small round balls.
Place the rolls into a nonstick baking tray or on to parchment lined baking tray or on to a well greased baking tray.
3.PROOF THE DINNER ROLL DOUGH
Let the dough ball sit in a warm environment for about 60 minutes or until they puff up and get doubled in size.
After an hour,brush the top of those rolls with an egg wash.This will help to make our rolls shiny and golden brown in colour when they are baked.
Now they are ready to to go into the oven.
4 BAKE THE DINNER ROLLS
Bake the rolls in a 375 F preheated oven for 18-20 minutes.
top get burned too fast,
How to prevent the top of rolls from over browning ?
- Place an aluminum foil on top to prevent over browning,whenever you feel so
- You can place the baking tray way from the heating coils to prevent this issue..(i placed my baking tray in the lowest rack of the oven as the heating coils were on the upside)
If the dinner rolls are underbaked,the inside will be doughy and they smell yeasty.So bake sufficiently for 17-20 minutes.
HOW CAN I SUBSTITUTE EGG IN THIS QUICK DINNER ROLLS RECIPE?
Role of egg in bread making:
Eggs added to dough help with rising. A bread dough rich with egg will rise very high, because eggs are a leavening agent (think genoise or angel food cake). As well, the fats from the yolk help to tenderize the crumb and lighten the texture a bit. Eggs also contain the emulsifier lecithin. Lecithin can add to the overall consistency of the loaf.
So it is difficult to substitute something else for egg to get the same result.
At the same time, I can say that ,as we have used only one egg in this quick dinner roll recipe,we can easily replace the egg to make dinner rolls without much difference in texture and taste of the rolls.
As one egg is approximately 45 ml,just replace the same volume with milk or water.So you can add 3 tablespoon of water or milk in place of one egg.
Remember, this will not be equivalent to adding an egg.But i can promise you that it will be difficult to find any difference between the one made with and without egg in this particular quick dinner roll recipe.
HOW TO STORE QUICK DINNER ROLLS?
Once the rolls are completely cooled,place the dinner rolls in a plastic storage bag, or wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
Properly stored,these quick dinner rolls will last for about 3-4 days at normal room temperature.
In extremely warm, humid temperatures,the dinner rolls should be frozen for longer-term storage.
For freezing: Place the buns in a heavy-duty freezer bag or wrap the buns tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap and freeze.
Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for about 3 months.
HOW TO REHEAT QUICK DINNER ROLLS
Thaw the dinner rolls and then brush/spray some water on the dinner rolls and place them into a 350 F preheated oven for 5 minutes.
The dinner rolls will be soft and fresh and they smells too good.

Hi, I am just making these and proofing now but but the dough balls don't look as large as in video. I am using plain flour and Lowan's instant dried yeast. Are proportions the same with instant dried yeast? I kneeded by hand for some 20 minuted and got the window pane when stretched but even though 40g or so weighed, not as large as video. Please advise. Ty, great videos. Xoxo

Hey, I didn’t see in your recipe to add 1 tsp of water to work in the dough to make it soft but you did this on your tube video. Is it necessary to add the 1tsp of water? Very anxious to make these rolls!!

Hello~ We made these. And when I say "we", I mean that I started by making them after my husband found the recipe. They turned out lovely but to him, very dense and he feels they did not rise. So... then HE made them and basically the same thing. Is this how they turn out? I did like them, but we are just wondering... did we make them the correct way or wrong? I did not add any more flour (and we used bread flour) when kneeding them and my husband only used a little more when he kneeded them. Thanks! Can't wait to get some feedback so we know if we did what we should or messed up! Flavor was great!
