Bread Roll Dough

Homemade bread rolls bring the wonderful scent of freshly baked bread to your home and are a treat for everyone from babies to grandfathers. Instead of rolled oats, you can easily add leftover morning oatmeal or a grated carrot that is starting to wilt to the dough - food waste reduction at its best.

Method

  1. 1

    Mix the salt, sugar, and yeast into the lukewarm milk. (If using dry yeast, remember to heat the liquid to 42 °C and add the dry yeast mixed into the rolled oats.)

  2. 2

    Add the rolled oats and gradually the bread roll flour, kneading well. Finally, add the butter to the dough. The dough should remain quite soft to produce light and fluffy rolls. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 18 portions. Shape the pieces into round rolls. Let rise well under a cloth. If desired, brush the rolls with milk and sprinkle rolled oats or sesame seeds on top.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven at 225 °C for about 12 minutes.
