Dinner rolls are one of the easiest recipes to begin the baking journey with. The same dough can be used to form different shapes. I always been making this dough in bulk and I freeze the extra rolls. My daughter likes crescent rolls and I set some dough to make those for her too. Pav Bhaji is an Indian street food and these rolls can be used for the same. I call “Pav Bhaji” as “Indian Sloppy Joes” . Off to the recipe. Dough recipe from crescent rolls post.

Tips
1. Egg white wash or milk wash can be used to get the brown color.
2. You can also put it on a low broil for a couple of minutes after the bread is done to get the color. Be very careful with this as it burns quite quickly.
