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.
