Just like the title says, this easy dinner roll recipe is perfect for your next simcha (and for mishloach manos!). Every meal starts off right with a hot doughy roll topped with sesame or poppy seeds. Get creative with this recipe. The dough is easy to handle and there are so many varieties to how you can shape these. We offered a few ideas in this bread recipe below.
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 ounce dry yeast (1 section of a triple pack)
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup lukewarm water or unflavored Gefen Soy Milk
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
poppy seeds
sesame seeds
Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in sugar and yeast. Add margarine, mixing with your fingers until texture resembles bread crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add water (or soy milk) and egg; knead until a dough is formed. Knead for about 10 minutes more until dough is smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a bowl that is lightly smeared with oil. Cover and let rise until double, about one hour.
Punch down dough and knead for two to three minutes on a floured surface. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into rolls (see notes for different shaping techniques).
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the shaped rolls onto lightly greased baking sheets or Gefen Easy Baking Parchment Paper, spaced well apart. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
Mix egg yolk and water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden. Cool on rack.

oil? Can this be made with oil instead of margarine?
Sure. You might have to add more flour though.
A really big hit!! I made them for a simcha sudah, and everyone really enjoyed them!
