This dinner roll is very very fluffy, soft and chewy.If you follow the recipe you
will not be disappointed.This is a recipe for dinner rolls or some may call milk
bun or milk bread. It's a basic dinner rolls recipe, many other kinds of bread
items can be made out of this bread.

Ingredients for 8 pieces of bread:

Bread flour 250g( 2 cups-poured in the cup)I recommend measuring in gram by scale.
water or milk 107g(110-120ml)(1/2 cup)(could be 2tbsp more or less depending on the
size of the egg and the humidity of flour)make a soft dough.
milk powder 4 tbsp(25g)
large egg 1(51g)
yeast 1tsp (make sure good quality)
sugar 3 tbsp(37g)
salt 3/4 tsp
butter 3 tbsp(42g) or 4tbsp

(I made 9 pieces of bread)

bake 15 to 20 mins at 175C(350F)(depending on your oven type)

(25mins if you feel it's under baked, under baked bread will feel dough like
texture and smells more yeasty)

Important notes:

1.If your dough feels too wet to handle after kneading you can add 1tbsp flour but
don't use too much otherwise bread will become dense.

2.scale measurement is more accurate.cup measurement could be little different for

various reasons.But if you measure by cups flour and water ratio may not be exact
sometimes. in that case, you can add some flour if the dough is too wet to handle.
(make a soft dough possible.)
proper kneading and folding are important for the chewy texture of bread.

3.dough will be sticky and soft at the beginning. A soft dough makes soft bread.
After 15 mins of kneading, it will not stick to your hand anymore.

4.Ovens has different temperature.If you find the color of the bread going dark
before time, place an aluminum foil on top of the bread soon after you get your
desired color.

5. use a minimum amount of dusting possible. dusting can make hard texture.you can
also use oil instead of flour to prevent sticking.

6. I recommend bread flour. if you can't find it you can use plain all purpose
flour but knead longer.but the chewiness may not be the same.

7.I use instant yeast.water temperature should be like body temperature if you dip
your finger in water for 30 sec and you don't feel uncomfortable or irritation but
you feel the warmth that is perfect. yeast dies in hot water. I sometimes even use
room temperature water which also works fine.If you have Thermometer it should be
between 35c to 40C.

8.It's good to have a warm place for proofing bread dough, in winter dough will not
rise on counter top.I turn the oven on for a few seconds then turn off and put the
tray in, I feel the temperature inside the oven by putting my hand in to make sure
it's warm, not hot.I do it every 15 mins to keep the dough warm. normally it takes
between 30mins to 1hour to rise.Or you can just turn the oven light on if you have
the option.
