Dinner Rolls with 0 Butter

First of all am really sorry for that blunt post that I posted previously, I was in a rush to leave and I did post it before leaving even without leaving a message how those muffins tasyed like... The idea of preparing those muffins came up all of a sudden and I was in need of Cognac/Kirsch/Rum/Fruit Liquor... I know for sure that I dint have Cognac/kirsch/Rum I went in search of Fruit Liquor and I had Orange Liquor but I was skeptical about using it with Cranberries so I thought of using Vodka and pour in the remains of soaked Vodka as well as a coupla tblsp's too. I liked the taste of those dunked drunken Cranberries and they tasted awesome, infact they made me happy...

Now for todays recipe, everyone loves those appetizers served in Bertucci's the dinner rolls with Olive Oil, Chilli Flakes, Garlic, Rosemary and Salt... I am a die hard fan of those rolls hard on the outside and soft and chewy inside. I was speaking to my Mom and found out that if I use no Butter they come out awesome... She is a wonderful cook and a baker, when she was 19yrs old she took up a baking class and later improved her baking and cooking skills, ofcourse she did pass on them my way too... I hardly bake if I do so I never have posted many baked goodies...



Ingredients:

A.P. Flour - 3 cups
Whole Milk - 1 cup
Yeast - 1 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Brown Sugar - 2 tbsps
Maple Syrup

Method:

1. Preheat the oven at 375 degrees. Sift A.P. Flour and Salt a couple of times this will airate the Flour and help in raising.

2. Heat Milk for 3 mins and add Sugar and let it dissolve. Now add the Yeast and let it raise.

3. Pour in the Yeast mixture to the Flour lil by lil and make a dough using your fingers.

4. Knead the dough thoroughly well not tearing the dough and simply folding it. Tearing will not help the dough do its work.

5. Let the dough raise to its double. I had switched on the dishwasher and they rose perfectly well, in about 30 mins they rose upto 2.5 times its size.

6. Punch in the dough using your fist and enjoy the softness fold in for a few mins and then roll them into desired size balls ( to get large rolls let it rest for another 20-25 mins for the balls to raise, I dint have time so I put them immediately into the oven). Glaze with Maple Syrup.

7. Arrange on presifted trays and bake for 15-20 mins.

8. When baked for 7-8 mins open the oven door letting the hot air out (old Ovens dont have any vents).
