Servings: 6 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon dry yeast
  • 1 pinch sugar tiny pinch
  • 1/4 cup water warm
  • 2 1/4 cup bread flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk warm
  • 1 3/4 tablespoon butter melted and cooled
  • 1 egg lightly beater

For Brushing

  • 1 teaspoon butter melted

Instructions

  • Pour warm water in a bowl and add yeast and a tiny pinch of sugar. Allow yeast to work mixture into a frothy surface. This takes 5-10 minutes. (note 1)
  • Place flour and salt in a mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture, salt, milk, butter and egg.
  • Mix until combined; it is a slightly sticky dough. You can use a spoon or your hands.
  • Cover the bowl and allow to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until doubled or more. You will see bubble in the dough.
  • Dust your work place with flour, take the dough out of the bowl and shape it into a log. No need to knead.
  • Cut the log in 6 pieces.
  • Form a ball of each piece and place all 6 in a with parchment-paper-lined baking dish.
  • Cover with plastic foil that you first sprayed with oil or cooking spray to avoid sticking to the rolls.
  • Now allow the rolls to rise again. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Once the 2nd rise is completed, place the dish in a preheated oven of 390 degrees F and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top of the rolls is golden brown. Tap with your nail to hear a hollow sound.
  • Remove rolls from oven and brush with the melted butter for a beautiful shine.
  • Place dinner rolls on a wire rack to cool a little before serving.

Notes

  1. The tiny pinch of sugar is to wake-up and feed the yeast. It is such a small amount of sugar that I still call the rolls sugar-free
