  • 1 egg whole
  • 2-1/2 cup flour all purpose or plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Take lukewarm water in a bowl.

  • Add some flour and knead the dough for at least 10 minutes.
  • Tuck the dough to make it smooth from the top, transfer to a greased bowl and cover it with a cling wrap. Leave it until doubles in size.
  • When done, take out the cling wrap and punch the dough to release the air. Knead it a little.
  • Now divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each part into ball shape. It should be smooth on the top.
  • Place all 12 rolled smooth balls in a baking tray lined with a baking sheet. Place them a little distance apart.
  • Cover it with a cling wrap and leave it for 1 hour or until doubles in size.
  • Now beat an egg using a fork and apply this egg wash on the balls very gently.
  • Place it in the preheated oven at 175°C/350°F for 15-20 minutes or until done.
  • Take them out and let it cool. Dinner rolls are ready.
