很多人並不喜歡在家裏做麵包，他們認為自己做麵包很麻煩，且很容易失敗。可麵包卻是我最喜歡自己在家中製作的，第一個原因可能是比起那些甜膩的蛋糕來說，麵包更適合我。第二個原因就是我認為自己在家裏做麵包非常有成就感，看著麵包在烤箱中一點點的長大，我會覺得自己很了不起，做麵包的這種感覺比我在做其它任何點心時都來得強烈，所以我非常喜歡在家裏試驗各種麵包，無論是軟式的還是硬式的。
還有一些人不喜歡在家裏做麵包可能是因為麵包需要的工具比較複雜，在家裏不容易操作，所以今天我要向大家介紹的就是我在做麵包時的一些方法，或者說是技巧。當然這些技巧並不一定專業，但卻更加適合像我一樣喜歡在家裏做麵包的人。

Ingredients
* 1 packet of dry yeast ( 2 1/4 tsp )
* 1/4 cup of warm, not hot, water
* 1 cup of milk
* 3 tbsp of butter
* 1 beaten egg
* 2 tbsp sugar
* 3/4 tsp salt
* 4 cup of flour
* 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Dinner Roll Yeast
We\'re going to start with some yeast for these delicious rolls. It\'s going to be 1 packet of dry yeast, that\'s 2 1/4 tsp. And a 1/4 cup of warm, not hot, water.
Step 2
Start the Roll Dough
While that\'s dissolving, we\'re going to get 1 cup of milk, and 3 tbsp of butter and throw it in the microwave for a minute to warm the milk.
In the meantime we\'re going to throw in (to the yeast mixture):
* 1 beaten egg
* 2 tbsp sugar
* 3/4 tsp salt
* 1 cup of flour
Add the warm milk/butter mixture. That can\'t be piping hot, so let it cool to warm before adding. Otherwise you will kill the yeast. Give that a mix, and then add another cup of flour. Switch to a spatula. Give that a mix and add a third cup of flour and that will form a wet, sticky dough. But it should be dry enough to scrap out on to the cutting board to begin to knead. So after 3 cups of flour, it should look like this.
Step 3
Knead the Dinner Roll Dough
On a floured board, we\'re going to plop down the dough and we\'re going to work that for about 6-7 minutes. We\'re only going to add flour in when the dough gets too sticky to knead. So make sure your hands are floured, and work that using the old kneading method - half turns and push it with your palm.
Knead that until you have a smooth and elastic, but still soft and slightly sticky dough. Don\'t work too much flour into the dough, only add it if it gets to sticky to work with. So knead it until it gets to this point - this is what I mean by elastic, see how it springs back. Form that into a nice smooth ball.
Step 4
Allow the Dough to Rise
In a mixing bowl, add a 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil, throw in the dough and make sure it\'s coated with oil so it doesn\'t dry out. Cover with a towel and let it rise, in a warn spot, until double in size. Should take about an hour to an hour and a half.
Step 5
Form the Dinner Rolls
After it doubles, throw it on a lightly floured cutting board, and pat it down with your hands. Form it into a square shape. Then take a knife and cut it into 12 pieces. Then we\'re going to shape the rolls, which is very simple. Just take a piece of dough and roll it into a round shape in your palm.
Step 6
Let the Rolls Rise
Now, we\'re going to put them on the pan, kind of close, about 1 1/2 apart. As they rise and double in size, which will take about 30-45 minutes, they will sort of touch each other and that\'s what going to give them that great dinner roll shape.
Step 7
Bake the Dinner Rolls
We\'re going to bake these at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. And that is one beautiful set of dinner rolls. They even have that traditional touching pull-apart quality which I think is pretty cool. And, since these are so easy, I don\'t buy these at the store anymore. It\'s just not how I roll. Anyway, give these a try. Enjoy!
