How to Make Dinner Rolls or Bread Rolls Recipe at Home

• To a mixing bowl, add 160ml of warm milk, 1 tsp of active dry yeast, and 1 tbsp of sugar.
• Stir to combine and cover it; allow the yeast to be activated; this should be about 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, the yeast should have been activated; now add the remaining 2 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, 1 egg, and soft butter.
• Mix everything together with a spatula until a dough is formed. You can use a stand mixer for the mixing.
• Knead the bread roll dough on a flat surface that has flour sprinkled on it to prevent sticking, until it becomes soft and elastic. Do not overproof the dinner roll dough; it should be elastic such that when pressed with the finger it should rebound to its normal shape.
• Now, grease your bowl with oil to prevent the dough from sticking to it and cover with a clean towel; then place in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until it rises to double its size.
• Deflate by punching with your hand and mold into small rounded balls. You can cut into equal parts by first rolling into a log or stick shape and then cutting into small equal parts.
• Arrange the molded dinner rolls dough in a baking pan such that there is a small gap between each ball.
• Cover it again and allow the balls to double their sizes again. This should be about 40 minutes.

Making an Egg Glaze for the Dinner Rolls

• Now, add 1 egg to a small bowl, and to it, add 1 tbsp of milk or water.
• Stir to combine until an egg wash is formed.
• Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash to the surface of the bread rolls to give it a glazing brownish surface.
