Eggless Dinner Rolls - Baking Eggless

 This is 3 rd bread post I am posting for this month. All the breads are for the baking groups I had joined.
                                      

 This bread was the challenge of baking Egg-less group Happening @ Gayatri's cookspot and the dinner rolls is suggested by priya of enveetu kitchen.  Each month a recipe is selected which was made using egg . we the group members has to make it egg less  For this month soft dinner rolls was the challenge.We has to make the soft dinner rolls without using egg.

 Till date I didn't made bread with egg. So , it was easy for me. First , I thought of using Tangzhong to make these dinner rolls . As, I already posted two breads , I skipped that idea .

 Finalized, using mashed potato instead of egg. It gives soft dinner rolls, I liked its texture. I made certain shapes of the dinner rolls.

Requirements :

All purpose flour – 2 cup

Mashed potato -  1 cup

Dry yeast – 1 tsp

Sugar – 2 tbs

Salt – ¾ tsp

Butter – 2 tbs

Water – ½  cup

Luke warm milk – ¼ cup

Method :

I pressure cooked a large potato to make a cup of mashed potato.

As I used dry yeast , I has to proof the yeast.

Heat the half cup of water till 110 * C or till Luke warm.

Add in the ½ tsp of sugar and the yeast , let it proof for 15 minutes.

In a bowl , add the flour , salt , sugar , butter and mashed potato , mix well.

Add in the proofed yeast and milk , mix well.

Knead with the hand till a soft and smooth dough is formed. It may takes about 10 – 15 minutes.

Keep this dough in a oiled bowl , cover with a plastic wrap and let it double for 2 hours or more.

Deflate and shape into different shapes as you desire.

Round Dinner Rolls :

Take a small part of the dough and roll into a round shape without any crack.Making this is simple. If making stuffed bun means , stuff the filling and shape.

Pumpkin rolls :

Same as the dinner rolls , make a cut vertically throughout the round on equal distance. Cut deeply or else it will disappear while baking.

Rosette / Kaiser Rolls :

This roll resembles the rose. Its making may seems difficult.

Take a small part of dough. Roll the dough with the palm of the both hands , it will roll into a log and lengthens on rolling.

 By taking this log in the hands , put a knot by intersecting both the ends , a circle will form in the center.

Bring one end above the circle and another under the circle.

Secure the edges tightly.

Rosette shape is formed.

Clover / Muffin Roll :

It resembles the shape of the clover and is made using the muffin pan.

It is simple , just roll three equal sized balls , arrange them in the muffin cups.

Knot Rolls :

Roll the dough into a log as in Kaiser roll , intersect both the ends and bring the ends into the center.

Arrange the prepared rolls in the baking tray.

Let it double again.

Preheat the oven to 220 * C @ convection mode.

I always use milk and sugar to brush the bread. But this time used milk powder dissolved in little water . It gave the bread lovely color.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or till brown on top.

Let it cool.

Eggless dinner rolls are ready to serve.
