This recipe is a quick one to make Dinner Rolls without eggs and with yeast. The first step, of course, is to learn how to handle the yeast. You must dissolve it in warm water, and not hot or cold water, in order to activate it properly. Once the yeast froths, prepare the dough and proceed.
Getting the proper shape requires a bit of practice, but it is totally worth the efforts! You will thoroughly enjoy the buttery, herby taste of these warm, soft rolls.

Q. My yeast did not froth. What could be the reason?
Yeast requires warmth and food to bloom. If the water is too hot the yeast will die, check the water if its warm before adding. Make sure your yeast does not come directly in contact with salt. The yeast will aslo not bloom if it is old, yeast will naturally loose its strength and wont given expected results.

I tried the recipe and it turned out to be good. Just that my bread didn''t become all soft, it was a bit chewy. So what can I do?

Hi Bhwna, you will have to bake the Dinner rolls after the dough is done as per the recipe. Since the dough contains yeast it cannot be stored for long hours.

Hi rajul, no you need to use yeast for making any bread. Yeast is one of the main ingredients as its an leavening agent.

Yes I tried this recipe and it went very well. But there is some issue with the quantities. In original recipe (6 rolls) quantity of flour is 11/2 cups , but when I try to get it for 8 rolls it says 1 cup flour. Please look into this.

Hi Rekha, You will get instant dry yeast in any shop that keeps bakery products. Do try the recipe in your microwave convection mode and see, we have tried it only in the oven.
