Cute Little Bread Rolls
Servings: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 350 ml warm water
- 4 tsp Surebake yeast (or 2 tsp of active yeast)
- 1 tbsp honey (or white sugar)
- 600 grams high-grade flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- melted butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
Cake Mixer knead and First Rise
- Place the warm water, yeast and honey into your cake-mixer bowl. Mix with a spatula on a low speed till frothy.
- Swap the spatula attachment for a dough hook. Add the the flour, salt and oil and let the dough hook knead the dough for a good 10-15 minutes. I often set the alarm and go and do another task, checking every now and then to make sure the cake mixer doesn't walk off the bench.
- Sprinkle the bench with flour and knead the dough into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and pop in a warm spot, and leave until the dough has doubled in size. This usually takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, but could be longer in colder weather- keep an eye on it and use your judgement.
Bread Maker dough setting and First Rise
- Place all go the ingredients into the bread maker tin and choose the dough setting. This will knead the dough and allow a first rise before the machine will beep (your signal to take out of the amchine).
Second Rise
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough, remove it from the bowl and form it into a long snake. Cut the dough into 9 or 12 equal-sized balls. Gently knead, roll and shape each ball into a cute little bun.
- Place the dough balls in an array in a large dish with sides, leaving a little space between each one. Leave to prove in a warm spot until doubled in size again, 35 minutes to 1 hour. Cover with a damp tea towel to avoid the dough drying out.
- Preheat oven to 200℃ (400℉) fan-bake.
- Once the dough balls have doubled in size, place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter (this is optional) before allowing them to cool.
