To make your dinner rolls, combine the milk, water, butter, yeast and sugar in a bowl and allow to stand for 5 minutes. The mixture will begin to foam. Sift the flour & salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk mixture and the egg and mix well to combine and form a dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough for the dinner rolls into a ball and place into a lightly greased bowl. Select Dough Prove 1 and allow the dough to prove for 35 to 40 minutes or until doubled in size. After proving, knock the air out of the dough and knead on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 18 even size pieces. Knead each piece and form into a round shape then place onto the universal tray that has been lined with baking paper. Allow room for rolls to spread. Place the tray into the oven and prove again for 20 to 25 minutes or until doubled in size. Remove the tray from the oven and preheat oven on Bread Baking to 200˚C. Bake the rolls on shelf level 3 for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden and cooked (see note if you have an oven with VarioSteam).

A roundup of our favourite lemon dessert recipes

After the chocolate-rich winter months, there’s nothing we like more than a refreshing lemon dessert to reset our tastebuds. Lemon’s citrus power lets it cut through sweetness for a balanced dessert that keeps you coming back for more. Perhaps best of all, lemon desserts tend to speak for themselves, but pair beautifully with most other fruits if you want to kick your presentation up a notch. Here are some of our favourite desserts from around the NEFF Kitchen: Lemon Meringue Pie recipe Starting off with something that looks a little bit fancy, a lemon meringue pie is a wonderful dessert to have in your repertoire. The golden peaks of marshmallow meringue look like a beautiful crown, balancing the tartness of the lemon with fluffy sweetness. Best of all? Using CircoTherm intensive allows you to cook the pastry without the need to blind bake, cutting down time and ensuring the perfect crust. Click here for the Lemon Meringue Pie recipe. Lemon cheesecake recipe This New York-style basked cheesecake is soft and decadent, with nothing but a few fresh berries to decorate it.

Lemon Blueberry Tart recipe One of our favourite fruit pairings has got to be lemon and blueberry.
