Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

About this Recipe
I have already shared a whole wheat dinner rolls recipe here, it has eggs in them and it works good every time. I wanted to share a recipe with no egg in them and hence this recipe was born. Have used a paste made with flour and milk and used that to make a dough in my sweet milk buns recipe. Hence i decided to try that trick using whole wheat flour as well. And my idea didn't fail me, what i got is a nice soft chewy textures whole wheat dinner rolls.

Why is it called dinner rolls?
The dinner roll is a small round loaf of bread that is commonly served as a side dish to a meal. Dinner rolls are named after their original purpose as an easily passed dinner food dating back to ancient times.
Who invented dinner rolls?
The first is from the Parker House Hotel in Boston, which opened in 1854. A irritated baker allegedly tossed a batch of unfinished rolls into the oven. They created a distinct shape with a light interior and a buttery exterior.

Ingredients for Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls Recipe:
Whole Wheat Flour / Atta :
It has a lighter colour and a milder flavour, but it still provides all of the whole grain benefits because the bran, germ, and endosperm are all preserved. As a result, white whole wheat flour is an excellent ingredient for whole grain baking, including breads, pastries, and everything in between.
Milk:
Milk serves several purposes in baked goods. It provides liquid to hydrate the dry ingredients, adds flavour, aids browning, and softens texture.
Dry Yeast :
Dry yeast is a dehydrated form of Bakers yeast that does not need to be refrigerated and has a long shelf life. It is used in a variety of baking formulations to improve texture and flavour.

Take yeast in a bowl, add little sugar over it. Now add very very warm water. Water shouldnot be hot or cold. If it is hot then it will kill the yeast. So add warm water and mix well. Set aside for 5 mins till it activates
