4 cups flour

1 cube yeast

1 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup oil

1 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

¼ cup water

 

Dissolve yeast in sugar and when it dissolves add a quarter cup of the water and a 1/3 cup milk to it. With yeast liquid make a dough and knead for a few minutes.  Sift flour and salt and rub-in oil so that it is well distributed in flour.  This dough does not require much kneading so be careful not to over handle. Cover and leave in warm place till it rises double in size (about 2 hours).  Knead again and shape into balls or fancy shapes as desired.  Place on greased baking trays and allow rising again (approx ½ an hour).

Brush tops of rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle khus khus (poppy seeds) or tal (sesame seeds).  Bake in 400 ^of (200 ^oC) oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
