Makes 8 big/12 medium rolls

Time:1 hour 10 minutes

1 tsp yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

3- 3 1/4 cups plain flour

1 tsb melted butter

1 tbs melted butter/2-3 tbs milk for brushing on top

Method

Mix the yeast, warm water, sugar and salt in a bowl. Let it stand for 5 minutes or till you notice foam. Then add rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Knead the dough well. In case you require more water, just add. 

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. Then leave it in a greased bowl to proof for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Remove the dough, punch it down and knead for one more time. Make dough balls according to the size you'd want and place them on a greased tray or baking tin. Let the balls proof for another 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven in the meantime to 190'C.

When the dough balls have doubled their size, place them in the oven for 20 -25 minutes till golden in colour. Remove and brush milk or melted butter on them.

Cool them completely before you use them.
