BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix milk with water. Add sugar, yeast, and butter. Stir until yeast is dissolved and set aside for 10 minutes or until yeast has foamed up a bit.
• In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Use the lower amount of flour to start with and add more only if the dough is really too sticky.
• Add yeast mixture to flour and mix.
• Knead until smooth and elastic. (I use a hand mixer with a kneading attachment.).
• Place in greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Oil your hands and shape the dough into rolls and place in a well-greased pan. I use 2 round non-stick cake pans.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise another 15 minutes.
• Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let these cool down before you remove them from the pan or they will likely tear.

EASY WHITE BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Firstly before we start, keep in mind that the doughs first rising can be done over night in the fridge in a well oiled bowl.
• Combine the flour, yeast, salt and caster sugar in a large bowl. I like to mix the mixture with a regular knife.
• Once combined make a well in the center of the flour in preparation for the wet ingredients.
• Measure 300ml of luke warm water and add 3 tbsp of olive oil.
• Pour the water and oil into the well of flour and gradually mix the flour in until it forms a dough.
• Transfer the dough to the work top and start to knead. Do not be intimidated if your dough is quite wet. Many people tend to then add to much flour and this will result in a denser bread. Persist in kneading for ten minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place your smooth dough into a lightly oiled, covered bowl and leave to prove for an hour. If you have made your dough in the evening then you can leave in the fridge overnight.
• Once your hour prove has finished knock back the dough for a good 10 minutes, then roll into a long sausage shape and divide into 8 sections. Form these sections into small rounds and place on covered baking trays for another hour.
• Whilst proving preheat the oven to 220C/fan. (This step also applies for the fridge proving option).
• Now cook your rolls in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Once out of the oven transfer to a cooling rack, tapping the bottom of the rolls to check that they sound hollow. Cover with a clean tea towel when cooling. This will absorb the moisture from the heat coming of the rolls.
• Best eaten warm!

EASY BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Tip the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and oil into a bowl. Pour over 325ml warm water, then mix (with a spatula or your hand), until it comes together as a shaggy dough. Make sure all the flour has been incorporated. Cover and leave for 10 mins.
• Lightly oil your work surface and tip the dough onto it. Knead the dough for at least 10 mins until it becomes tighter and springy - if you have a stand mixer you can do this with a dough hook for 5 mins. Pull the dough into a ball and put in a clean, oiled bowl. Leave for 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a long sausage shape. Halve the dough, then divide each half into four pieces, so you have eight equal-sized portions. Roll each into a tight ball and put on a dusted baking tray, leaving some room between each ball for rising. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to prove for 40 mins-1 hr or until almost doubled in size.
• Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. When the dough is ready, dust each ball with a bit more flour. (If you like, you can glaze the rolls with milk or beaten egg, and top with seeds.) Bake for 25-30mins, until light brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the base. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

FRENCH BREAD ROLLS TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and form into round balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
