1tspSalt
2TbspSugar

1 ½CupWarm Milk
Instructions
KNEAD THE DOUGH
Sift the flour and set it aside.
3 ½ Cup Flour
Add flour, salt, sugar, yeast, milk to the mixing bowl of the stand mixer.
3 ½ Cup Flour, 2⅓ tsp or 7g Yeast, 1 tsp Salt, 2 Tbsp Sugar, 1 ½ Cup Warm Milk
Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to medium speed and mix until flour is incorporated. Increase the speed and allow the the hook to knead for two more minutes.
Add the softened butter to the dough and knead for another 2 minutes until well incorporated.
3 Tbsp Butter
If the dough is a little too sticky, add additional flour as necessary - may be 2 - 3 tbsp flour at a time. The dough should be soft and pull away from the edge of the mixing bowl.
Alternatively to knead by hand, add all the ingredients in a bowl and knead until soft. This can take up to 20 minutes.
HOW TO PROOF THE DOUGH ?
Grease a large bowl and transfer the kneaded dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or damp towel. Allow the it rise for 1 hour at room temperature or until it doubles the size.
Remove the cling film/ plastic wrap. Deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
HOW TO PROOF DOUGH IN INSTANT POT?
Grease the Inner Pot of the Instant Pot with butter/ oil.
Place the dough in the greased pot. Close the lid and leave the knob in venting.
Select the Yogurt Setting and set the external timer for 40 mins. I always use my Google Home for a 40 minutes reminder. When the timer beeps, cancel the yogurt setting. Open the lid to see the raised dinner roll dough.
Deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
DIVIDE THE DOUGH & SECOND RISE
Pinch pieces of the dough and Divide them into 12 equal sized portions. Roll and shape to smooth top for each of the portion.
Transfer all the rolls to a greased baking sheet. Cover with soft towel or plastic and allow for a second rise. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes - 45 minutes depending upon the weather and altitude.
Brush the rolls with milk or egg wash.
BAKE THE DINNER ROLLS
Preheat oven to 200 C. Position the Tray into the lower shelf of the oven and bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through or until the top is golden brown.
If the rolls are getting a bit brown, cover them with a foil sheet and continue to cook.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the hot rolls with melted butter. Serve them immediately or store up to 3 days in an airtight container.
