  • 2/3 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm milk

Notes

Notes:
I had followed the egg version and I used butter .Here are my changes on this recipe to reduce to half.:)


Ingredients:(RECIPE WITH EGG)
  • 2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees) 1 cup Warm water
  • 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk (instant) I used normal milk(1/2 Cup)

  • 1 egg
  • 5-5 1/2 cups flour, all purpose (bread flour can be used if you have it on hand) Reduced to 4 cups flour and 1/2 cup for dusting the flour to avoid sticky on my hands 
 
Method:

  • Meanwhile heat the water and milk on the stove top or microwave it for about 30 seconds.
  • Take 4 Tablespoons warm water and add yeast to it and allow it to foam.

  • Add yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
  • Add egg.
  • Using electric mixer or hand mixer  with dough hook attachment,mix well gently.Add the lukewarm water and milk together to the egg and yeast flour mixture.
  • The dough should be kneaded gently on the floured working surface counter top till your hands are free from sticking it.
  • Knead more gently for about 20 minutes.
  • Take a bowl grease it with butter or shortening.Put the dough on it.
  • Cover it with loosened kitchen towel on the top of the bowl.
  • In case of winter climate keep the covered dough bowl into the oven with light on.it will help it to keep warm and allow to risen up.
  • After 1 hour, the dough will rise double in size.
  • Knock out gently
  • It is ready to make rolls :)
  • Once you made the rolls into different shapes.Transfer the shaped dough rolls on the baking sheet and muffin pan and covered it with plastic wrap or kitchen towel.
  • Allow it to rise for about 30 to 90 minutes.
  • Before 10 minutes has been elapsed for it to rise up.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F 
  • Keep the uncovered unbaked rolls into the oven.
  • For topping the shaped rolls you can either use egg wash or melted butter to get golden color
