10 Tips to Make Soft Rolls
- Always use warm water in yeast to rise. Avoid cold or hot water otherwise, yeast will not rise and sit on the bottom that will not make an influence on the dough.
- Don't skip the sugar at all! It basically adds to improve the rising or ferment process of yeast. It will not create a sugary taste.
- Properly use the number of ingredients to make the dough.
- Don't make the dough runny or thin. It should be semi-soft in texture.
- Always place the dough to rise in a warm place. I prefer microwave or oven to place (turned off).
- Don't open the rising dough again and again. Properly give it 2 hours to rise.
- When making dough balls make sure there should not be any crack.
- Preheat the oven before 10 minutes of baking.
- Add a cup of water to the oven can make the dough more soft and fluffy.
- Note the proper baking time. Overtime can make the rolls hard in texture.
How to Make It?
It's simple and easy to make! only require few ingredients from pantry to prepare these super soft rolls.
Ingredients:
Instant Yeast: Take the good quality instant yeast as it will help to rise the flour and make the bread roll soft and fluffy.
Sugar: It will work as a catalyst and accelerate the rising process of instant yeast so don't skip it.
Water: Used to dilute the yeast and sugar mixture.
Oil/butter: You can use oil or butter as per your preference. I used cooking oil but it can be replaced with butter in the same quantity.
Baking Powder (Optional): It's not compulsory to add baking powder but the addition will make the end result more smooth, soft, and fluffy.
Milk: Used to make the dough.
All Purpose Flour: Strain the flour before adding it to the dough.
Salt: Add salt according to taste. I used 1 Tsp which was well adjusted.
Method:
In a bowl, add yeast, sugar, and water. Mix well! Leave it for 10 minutes to get a rise. Now add salt, oil, and milk. Also, add all-purpose flour. Mix all the ingredients using a spatula. Cover and keep in a warm place for 2 hours to get a rise. Now take it out. Punch the dough to release air and make small balls. Set the baking tray by lining foil/butter paper. Apply oil on the baking sheet. Place the dough ball with some distance. Apply milk layer on top of the balls. Again cover with a cotton cloth and leave it to rise for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven at 220C or 428F Bake the dinner rolls for about 10 to 15 minutes. Take it out.. and enjoy!

Notes
- To properly ferment the yeast, it's always recommended to use warm water. Never use cold or hot water to dissolve yeast. It will not work out.
- Always choose the yeast wisely, like for normal bread making dry yeast is recommended due to long ferment time while the instant yeast will ruin the dough if you keep it for a long time.
- Sugar is the catalyst in yeast that improves the fermenting process rather than adding the sugary taste.
- Properly use the number of ingredients to make the dough. Increasing the quantity of yeast will not improve fermentation or make an impact on the rising dough. In fact, it will add yeast odor to the dough.
- Don't make the dough runny or thin. It should be semi-soft in texture.
- Always place the dough to rise in a warm place. I prefer microwave or oven to place (turned off).
- Don't open the rising dough again and again. Properly give it 2 hours to rise.
