MILK ROLLS

Steps:

• Put the flour into a large bowl, rub in the butter, then stir in salt and yeast. Make a well in the middle and pour in lukewarm milk. Using a wooden spoon, mix to a soft but not sticky dough.
• Lightly oil a large bowl. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Shape it into a round and place in the bowl. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours, until doubled in size.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and punch down with your fist. Knead for 2-3 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Divide the dough into 18 even-sized pieces and shape into balls, folding the sides to the middles to form tight round balls.(Or shape into a rope and tie in a single knot. Or you may roll each piece of dough into a thin strand. Fold in half and twist together, sealing the ends well to form a twist. Last but not least, you may try shaping each piece of dough into a ball or an oval and snipping tops with scissors).
• Lightly oil 2 or 3 baking sheets. Arrange the rolls on the baking sheets, leaving enough room between them for the dough to expand, cover loosely with oiled plastic wrqp, and leave in a warm place to rise for 15-20 minutes, until the dough has doubled in size.
• Brush the rolls with the beaten egg to glaze and sprinkle with poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Bake in a 450*F. oven for about 15 minutes,until they are well risen and golden. Tap the bottoms to see if the rolls are cooked; they should sound hollow. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!

POWDERED MILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the dissolve the powdered milk and sugar in the warm water and then stir in the yeast. Allow to proof until a creamy foam forms.
• Stir in the beaten egg, melted butter and salt.
• Then slowly add the 4 1/2 cups flour or enough to make a soft dough.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down and let rise until doubled in bulk again.
• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees, shape into 20 rolls and place in a 9 x 13 greased cake pan. Cover and let rise until doubled.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

BACON MILK ROLLS WITH HOMEMADE BROWN SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the brown sauce, add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan with a teaspoon of salt, bring to the boil then simmer on a low heat for 30 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
• Generously butter your milk rolls, add 2 rashers of bacon and a dollop of your homemade brown sauce to each butty.

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.
