Baking is very therapeutic, you take out all that mental stress by kneading and punching that dough, and then you bake it for later to enjoy an absolute pleasure. I give you my recipe for Soft Dinner Rolls.
Soft Dinner Rolls
I'm not sure why but the best time for baking (to me) is evening, and believe me I sleep really well that night 🙂
We do buy dinner rolls from the store most of the time, I'm a food blogger and love to bake but sometimes, there is just not that much time to bake and do other house chores. However, there is nothing better than homemade soft dinner rolls.
It’s fresh and made with love. Who doesn't like the smell of fresh baking to fill his house? Unlike store bought, these soft dinner rolls are so tasty I for breakfast have one plain roll with a glass of milk.
These soft dinner rolls were made for those who love butter in their dinner rolls yet want to control their calorie intake. So now you know how many calories each dinner roll have, and all you have to do, is to enjoy these soft and delicious rolls is to control the portion.
Soft Dinner Rolls

Hi Muna, I am planning to try this... If I use instant yeast how do I substitute it...
munatycooking
Hi Vimitha, Instant yeast doesn't need proofing, so add it with the dry ingredients. You should decrease the amount of yeast so instead of 1 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast, use around 1 or 1 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast.
