Dinner Rolls/Pav
These are the softest and yummiest buns/rolls I have ever
eaten.. No kidding!!
Once you start baking your own bread you become very
pernickety about store bought ones. So I was desperately searching for an OMG
recipe for pav/dinner rolls.
Ever since my trusty and beloved Kitchenaid has
come to my aid the process of bread baking has become easier. No more kneading
away to glory!! Because kneading is what does the trick for breads.
You can use this dough to shape dinner rolls or buns,
whatever you want. And believe me when say that this is the softest dough I
have ever made. It was like playing with clouds. It was silky smooth and
delicate as water bubble. So handle very gently. I made dents while brushing
the buns with butter.
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 tsp sugar
1 ½ tbsp. yeast
½ cup melted butter
½ cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
5 ½ cups flour
Now you may be wondering about the amount of butter. The
liquid component gives the buns their extra softness. So don’t skimp. Go ahead
and make it at least once.
Warm the water and sugar. Add the yeast. Remember the water
temperature is crucial. Too hot and the yeast will be killed. Too cold and it
won’t froth. I usually put my finger in the water to test it. The water should not
scald at all. It should be comfortably hot. Now sit back and relax because the
sight of a well fermented yeast is one of the most satisfying sights in the
world.
Here it ferments...
And it ferments dome more...happiness!!!
Combine butter, sugar, eggs and salt using a dough hook in
your stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer you can use a hand held
blender. Now start adding the flour one cup at a time. Keep beating till the
dough starts pulling away from the sides.
In a stand mixer you can keep beating with the dough hook
for 15 minutes. If using a hand held blender you will have to start kneading by
hand. The more you knead the fluffier your dinner rolls will be.
Oil a large bowl and put the dough inside rolling it well in
the oil.
Cover with a clingfilm and leave to double.
Once it has doubled punch
it down gently. Grease two square 10” pans. This dough will make roughly 15-18
dinner rolls. Make balls and place in the baking pans leaving room in between
for the dough to rise again.
Leave for half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 170
degrees Celsius. Bake for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and cover with a
damp cloth. Your dinner rolls are ready.
