Dinner Rolls





Ingredients:

1/3 cup warm water
2-1/2 teaspoons of yeast
1 cup milk
3-1/2 tablespoons of butter
3 to 3-1/2 cups of all purpose flour plus extra for dusting
2 tablespoons of milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons of milk (for milk wash)

Melt butter in milk either on stove top or in a microwave and set aside.

Heat 1/3 cup of water to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit and add yeast and sugar and set aside to activate.

Meanwhile, mix flour, salt, and milk powder.

Once the yeast is activated (foamy), add it to the flour along with milk and melted butter and knead into a soft dough.

Add extra flour if needed and knead until everything comes together and forms a soft dough.

Place it in a greased bowl and let it sit in a warm spot in your kitchen to double in size which may take approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down on a floured surface and divide into 12 portions.

Roll them to form a ball and place it on a greased baking sheet.  Brush the top with milk and sprinkle some sesame seeds and set it for a second rise in a warm spot for another 30-40 minutes.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes or until its completely baked.  Transfer to a wire rack and let cool and serve.
