Since Dinner Rolls Recipe has the least amount of Ingredients, it is very easy to make.
Bread Flour – Because of its High Gluten ratio, I use Bread Flour to bake breads. You may use All Purpose Flour also.
Instant Yeast – I have always used Instant Yeast while baking a bread and it has never disappointed me. I love Fleischmann’s brand. Buy the solo packets since they are perfect. These are designed for one time use. You can use Dry Active Yeast also. But you have to activate it before using.
Table Salt + Granulated Salt – I love Real Salt for it does not have a huge grain and yet granular. You may use any brand. Granulated salt is more for topping. Table salt goes inside the dough.
Sugar – Though when you are using instant yeast, you do not require sugar as a must but still add it. Since sugar brings out the flavors of the bread. If you are using dry active yeast, add sugar as a must to activate it.
Olive Oil – Though I highly recommend Olive Oil, you may use any other cooking oil too.

Hi Sonal,I tried your focaccia bread recipe and it turned out too good! But then tried the milk pav and the dough didn’t rise at all! I went ahead and baked it to get a hard piece of bread..My boys are big lovers of pav bhaji and in the current situation it makes all the more sense to bake them at home.I am thinking of baking the rolls by following your easy dinner roll recipe and have a clarification – In the following step you have mentioned that cover the inner pot with a kitchen towel and place a heavy plate on top. In yogurt mode, we have to close the instant pot with its lid right? what are you actually saying by this?
