A Day off from work and My Very 1st Dinner Roll..(Fail)

I didn't feel well this morning and decided to take a day off from work.. a little sick can make me feel so weak during pregnancy... I can't take any medicine, all I can eat are fruits, veggies, and all kinds of food that can boost up vitamin to fight against my sickness... Anyways, I did take some rest, but later decided to wake up and move around, I feel so dead to lay on bed..

Since I always want to try making dinner roll, this is a good chance.

I don't have a standing mixer, all I use are my hands, to be very honest, it is very tired to kneed the dough..for a standing mixer, it took 7 mins, medium high speed to make a good dough. I only spent 5 mins to kneed the dough, that's why it didn't turn out great..(not the taste, but the texture is not fluffy and soft).. haha! HOW MUCH I WANT A STANDING MIXER..

This is the result:

 As you can see, my roll is not as soft as it should be. These might be the reason:

1. Not enough kneed
2. Too much flour
3. Dry Yeast didn't activate in right temperature.

The taste and texture is just like regular bread.. but just NOT QUITE LIKE A ROLL.. =.=





Oh Well.. my first time , hopefully I can try again in the future.. Yes! not very soon because I don't think Mr. Au-Yeung would like try out my dinner roll over and over again.. I will try something new so he can get excited to try it too~ :):)

Although it didn't turn out great! I enjoyed the process! It helps me to forget about the sickness!! :) So.. Enjoy Baking!!
