just looking for a little pointers....

bread, i can do no probs....don't need recipe, i can wing it...chuck some flour, yeast etc don't need to measure and can feel when its right amount of water....but rolls are troubling me a little, mostly the shape....theyre coming out well baked and tasty, but not very roll looking!!

i'd really appreciate it if you could post some pics of your roll dough before second prove, so i have an idea of what i should be aiming for...

also....egg wash, or no egg wash?

Assuming you are looking to make a round roll - you want to cup your hand over the dough and roll it around in a tight circle to get a nice rounded shape. Like this:


In terms of whether to use an egg wash, it depends on the look you are aiming for! Egg wash will make it golden and shiny, but if you want a crustier roll try adding some steam to the oven.
