Homemade Dinner Rolls
As much as we love buying store-bought dinner rolls, nothing tastes close to homemade dinner rolls that are fresh-off-the-oven. The warm rolls in your hand, the sweet aroma that lingers in the kitchen, and the softness of the rolls sinking in your teeth. This is the best ever and easy dinner rolls recipe!
How To Make Dinner Rolls
I am going to teach you how to bake Japanese-style dinner rolls. The special technique using a “roux” yields super soft, sweet, light and fluffy dinner rolls. If you have been to Japanese bakery stores or Japan, you know that they really have the best breads and baked goods in the world.
Japanese Roux Technique
This is the technique used in this recipe. It’s basically the creation of a “bread starter” by cooking the flour, milk and water mixture first, before adding the roux to the dough. The roux increases the moisture absorption of the typical dough and hence produces soft and fluffy dinner rolls. It also helps to preserve the bread, without the use of any preservatives. You can keep the bread at room temperature for up to two days without getting bad. The technique is pretty much fool proof and very easy to follow. It’s novice baker friendly.
