Shaped Dinner Rolls

Hi friends,
Sorry that I vanished from the blogosphere suddenly,actually kids were sick at home and had a party yesterday,had to prepare a cake.Kids are slightly better and the cake details will follow soon.I will surely drop by your spaces very soon and I think missed many of the Diwali collections too.
Coming back to today's recipe-Baking Partners # 4 comes with Shaped Dinner Rolls,a long awaited wish of mine to bake these cute ones.The baking experience was awesome,got to learn so many types of shaped rolls,which otherwise I would have never attempted.Thanx a lot to Swathi @Zesty South Indian Kitchen for suggesting these shaped dinner rolls.There were two recipes to prepare,I tried the one with egg.And Swathi had mentioned 7 different shapes,I tried out 4 of them.The dinner rolls turned out very soft & delicious,everyone loved it at home.Though the original recipe yields 2 1/2 dozen rolls,I just halved and made half of it.And I have listed the same measures for 14 dinner rolls.Enjoy!!!



Ingredients
all purpose flour 2 1/2 cup flour
non-fat dry milk powder 1/3 cup(refer notes)
sugar 1/8 cup
yeast 1 tbsp
egg yolk 1
warm water 1 cup (110-115 degree F)
salt 3/4-1 tsp
butter 1/6 cup (approx 2 1/2 tbsp)
for glaze
egg white  1
sesame seeds 1tbsp


Method
-Add the yeast to the leukwarm water .Add the milk powder and sugar to it.Frothing appear by 10 minutes.
-Sift the flour and add 1 cup of flour and egg yolk along with softened butter,salt.
-Add in the yeast mixture and remaining  1 cup flour,knead dough.(If you are using an electric mixer,then mix on low speed,then increase speed to medium and finally knead by hands)
-The remaining 1/2 cup flour should be added to make the dough in the correct texture that means the dough should be soft,not overly sticky and not very stiff.The time you attain this texture stop adding more flour.
-Add half tbsp/ 1 1/2 tsp of oil over the dough and sides to prevent sticking.Cover and leave for 1 hour or until it reaches double in size.
-Punch out the air,knead again.Roll out the dough after dusting the surface with flour.Start cutting out shapes as desired.I tried the rose shapes,braided shape,clover shape & knot shapes.Have a look at this video for detailed shaping,here.
1.Clover shape-


2.Rose shape-
 3.Knot shape-

 4.Braided shape-


-Place on a lined tray with parchment paper and brush the top liberally with the reserved egg white.Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.Leave for half an hour to rise.
-In the mean time,pre heat oven to 375 degrees F.Place the tray in the center of the oven after half an hour of rise,bake for 15-20 minutes.Mine was done at 16 minutes the first batch,the second batch was the braided pattern were I gave 2 minutes more for nice golden color,you can see the difference.
-Brush the top with butter immediately after its out(hot) from the oven.(The crust remains soft )
-Let it col on wire rack and serve.

Servings ~ yields 14 dinner rolls




NOTES
* If you are making a larger batch,then double the ingredients & prepare.
* I have used carnation brand low fat dry milk powder.You can even use regular milk in place of milk powder.
* Brushing egg white on top gives a nice golden color on top.Be liberal to brush egg white.This step is optional for added effect of color.
