HOME MADE WHITE DINNER ROLLS RECIPE

250ml warm water, one part boiling to two parts cold
1 tsp dried yeast
200g strong white flour
175g plain flour
1 tsp salt
oil, for kneading

RInse your mixing bowl with boiling water to take the chill off it, then pour in the 250ml warm water, add the yest and stir in the strong white flour. Cover and wrap the bowl in a towel and leave for an hour.
Add the plain flour and salt to the bowl, mix by hand all the ingredients. Again, wrap the bowl in the towel and set aside for 10 minutes.
Rub a tablespoon of oil over the top of the dough. Rub more oil over your work surface, so it covers a plate-sized area, and hands. Put the dough down on the surface and knead gently for 10 seconds - the aim is to mix it evenly and break up any lumpy bits. Return the dough to the bowl, cover again and leave for another 10 minutes. Repeat the kneading and resting twice more, then leave, covered for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on the oiled surface to roughly 15 cm square, and cut into 12 4 cm x 3 cm pieces. Place on a tray, cover with a towel and leave for 45 minutes to an hour, until puffed and doubled.
Preheat the oven to 200c/400F/gas mark 6, then bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden.
