Ever expereinced aroma of freshly baked bread, nothing can beat it yeh ? This recipe has been long over due. This is the most basic dinner roll recipe and if followed correctly yields excellent result. I will be teaching this recipe in the very first class of the baking course I am conducting from next week. Which reminds me of very important milestone I am planning to achieve – conducting 5 day long course. I will write a complete post on this topic with details along with tips and pictures.
Coming back to dinner rolls, they are a good start if you are yet to break your yeast-fear. If you can make them perfectly after couple of tries then you are ready to take on almost all yeast based recipes. Couple of pointers about yeast :
- Make sure you buy a good quality brand
- You can use any of the types of yeast, granular or instant. I personally prefer granules due to the fact that it can be verified for its effectiveness before it is incorporated into the dough (more on this later)
- Always use luke warm liquid while making yeast doughs since too cold or too hot can kill the yeast and affects the fermentation process
- Dough should be kept in a warm place to rise, it can be placed near a stove, a warm oven or on a kitchen slab depending on the weather conditions.
- Tradition continues, this post goes to YeastSpotting – monthly event run by Susan.
