Rosette Dinner Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

• All-purpose flour or bread flour - 1 cup
• Sugar - 1 Tbsp ( to combine with egg)
• Warm water – 1/4 cup
• Active dry yeast – 1 tsp
• Sugar – 1 tsp ( to combine with yeast)
• Egg - 1
• Warm milk – 1/4 cup 
• Oil or melted butter - 2 Tbsp
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Honey or molasses - 1 tsp

METHOD:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the water, yeast, and 1 tspn of sugar. Stir with a fork to combine, and then keep it aside.
• In a medium-large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the warm milk, oil or butter, salt, honey or molasses, and 1tbsp sugar. Stir to combine. 
• Now take another large mixing bowl and combine the two wet mixtures and stir. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough, and continue to add flour and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms that will take round 10-15 minutes. 
• If you are using a stand mixer, pour both wet mixtures into mixer bowl. Add the flour and allow it to mix until a smooth, soft dough forms, adding more flour as needed. When dough is smooth and elastic, turn off mixer.
• Now allow dough to rest for 5-10 minutes. Cover it with a tea towel and keep it aside.
• While dough is resting, grease your baking tray. 
• Turn oven on to 200 degrees F and set a timer for 3 minutes. 
• After 2 minutes, turn off the oven. You should leave the door shut so it stays warm inside.
• Now cut dough into 4 pieces.One divide in half, then divide each half in half again. Now you will get four pieces.
• Form each piece of dough into a roll. 

• To make rosette-shaped dinner rolls, roll each piece of dough into a rope about 8 inches long.

• Tie the rope into a knot, with two long "tails" remaining.

• Tuck one tail under and one tail over, tucking in the middle, to make the rosette shape.Place rolls on your greased tray.  
• You can go through the below video which I made to show how to shape the rosette dinner rolls.

• Cover lightly with a clean towel and place sheets in the warm oven . Now no need to turn on the oven.
• Allow the rolls to rise until nearly doubled. This should take about 30 minutes. 
• When rolls are almost doubled in size, remove them from the oven. 
• If you want, you can brush these dinner rolls with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds before baking.
• Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
• Bake Dinner rolls for about 15-20 minutes, until done.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
