Activate Yeast
1) Take 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl. Water should not be too hot or cold. Mix sugar in it. Add dry yeast and mix nicely, cover the bowl for 5 minutes. Yeast will activate within 5 to 10 minutes. After 5 to 7 minutes, water should become frothy. If it becomes frothy, that means yeast has activated.
Dough
2) In a big bowl, sift 3 cups flour and salt. Add yeast's frothy water, and warm water. Knead to soft dough, use some dry flour while kneading. Knead till dough become elastic (approx 3 minutes). Incorporate oil into the dough and knead for few minutes. Make a nice ball. Surface should be very smooth. Place the dough ball into deep bowl. Cover with a plate and place it to a warm place for 1.5 hours.
3) After 1.5 hours dough will rise and become double in volume. Use little Oil and slightly punch down the dough. Now divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Use little dry flour while handling. Grease a baking pan (I have used 10" dia pie bakeware) with little oil and sprinkle little dry flour. Make 10 smooth surface balls. Arrange on the baking pan. Cover with plastic paper for 30 minutes. In this 30 minutes, dough balls will rise a little.
Bake
4) Preheat oven at 370 F for 7 to 10 minutes. Brush the surface of dough balls with milk. Bake for 22 minutes. Turn off the oven, remove pan after 3 to 4 minutes. Let the bread cools down for 10 minutes.
Serve these Bread rolls with Misal, Pavbhaji, Batata Vada, Chole, Pindi Chole

Note:
1) I have used Self Rising Flour to make this bread. Self Rising Flour is a mixture of All purpose flour, salt and Baking powder. Therefore one can use self rising flour in this recipe. But some salt is already exist in this flour, so for 3 cups of self rising flour add 1/2 tsp salt. While using All purpose flour, add the salt according to the given quantity.
2) The more you knead the dough, the finer texture you will get.
