Wholewheat Dinner Rolls - I finally baked bread!

Many blogs these days are smelling of freshly baked bread - some like me are first timers just learning to love the smell of a loaf baking in the oven, or waiting giddily for the dough to rise, or gingerly touching the tin of dry yeast that's somehow wound up from the supermarket aisle to their kitchen top.

The 'others' - there's a virtual colosseum of the others on the web - the daring bakers, the loaf maniacs, the bread hounds - call them whatever, if its bread they want, it is bread they get, no matter at what cost. But thanks to them I finally baked my first bread.

The recipe for these Dinner Rolls can be found at Amulya's blog - she calls it Amu's Crazy World. She gives a great step by step tutorial on baking these and thankfully the portions were small enough to give me enough room for mistakes!

I made the rolls with Atta/Wholewheat flour - so they are dense in texture, the skin is thicker but oh-so-yum. Forget dinner, we dunked 'em in chai and straight devoured!
