You might have mixed the salt with yeast or added the butter too soon. Salt and Butter retards the activity of Yeast and hence the dough doesn't rise properly. The right way to add salt is to mix with the flour and the right time to add butter is after kneading for initial 6 mins in a stand mixer or 10 mins by hand. OR you might have killed the yeast altogether by using hot milk.
You might have added too much flour while kneading the dough which makes the pav dry. The best alternative is to grease the worktop with some oil. Refer this video for more inputs on the same.
A pav dough needs to be well hydrated. Do not be afraid to add more milk while kneading than what the recipe calls for.

A Bread Dough always needs to hit hot oven to get the beautiful oven spring and bake evenly. If your oven is not pre-heated and is not the right temperature (too high or too low) then your pav bakes unevenly, remains under baked and you get Yeast smell in your bread. And even after following this precaution if you feel that the dough still smells yeasty then in that case you need to reduce the amount of yeast than what is called for in the recipe.
Yes as both of them is made of Yeast based dough. The slight difference depending upon which part of US you are from is that the former is much lighter and sweeter than the latter. Though the way of preparation and the serving is same but sometimes Dinner Rolls recipe do call for eggs as we did in this recipe but just like this recipe we can make the rolls without eggs too.
1. Ensure that the dough is well hydrated. Don't be afraid to add little extra lukewarm milk than what the recipe calls for.

3. Ensure that your oven is not too hot - as that would accelerate the activity of yeast even before the crust is formed and would eventually dry out the dough.
A great trick to make any dough turn out to be light and fluffy is by enriching the dough. The easiest way to do is by adding an egg to your dough - Check our fluffiest pillow soft dinner rolls recipe. If you are looking for an eggless option then simply substitute water with milk or try to add some powdered milk to the flour. All these are the key factors to enrich a dough.
1. Letting the salt come in direct contact with the yeast or mixing the butter too soon - this would retard the yeast activity or using hot milk/water which would have killed the yeast in the first place and hence there won't be enough gas produced to make the rolls light.
