Step 1

Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer: yeast, flour, sugar and salt.

Step 2

Knead on medium-low speed in a stand mixer or by hand for about 3 minutes, trickling in enough milk until you have a dough that's smooth but slightly sticky.

Step 3

Add the oil and continue to knead until the oil has been absorbed by the dough. This might take a couple of minutes.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in an oiled bowl, turning over once to coat the top with oil. Cover with cling wrap or a tight lid and set aside to proof in a warm spot until the dough has doubled or more.

Step 5

Knead the dough slightly and divide into 12 equal-sized balls. Pull down the edges and tuck them under to form round or oval rolls.

Step 6

Nestle the rolls in an oiled, 8 X 8 inch baking dish. Cover with cling wrap or a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm spot to rise for an hour.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 370 degrees F/190 degrees C.

Step 8

Place the risen pav rolls in the oven and bake 22 minutes until golden brown. Cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
