Hi Everyone!

My name is Jo. I usually post on the Special Occassions board but have been lurking on here for a few days now and you've all converted me :rotfl:

I am after a good recipe for bread rolls. We use a lot of bread here (OH has rolls each day for work etc, plus DS loves his toast and sandwiches) and I always seem to run out at the most inconvinent time! :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance!!! XxX

    This is the one I use.

    Soft bread rolls
    Soft bread rolls -makes about 15

    Mix in a large bowl

    1½ lbs white bread flour
    ½ lb wholemeal bread flour
    you can use all white flour if you want white rolls
    2 tsp sugar
    2 tsp salt
    4 tsp easy-blend yeast

    Stir in

    ½ pint hand-hot milk
    ½ pint hand-hot water
    I generally use milk from the fridge and then top it up with just-boiled water

    Knead the dough for about 4 mins, until smooth and elastic.

    Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 1½ hours.

    Knock back (give it a good thump all over to knock the air out) and knead again a few times.

    Shape into rolls about the size of a cricket ball. Place them on greased baking trays (I get 15 on one very large tray, they spread a bit and join together so you have to tear them apart when baked).

    Leave covered with the damp cloth for 25 mins.

    If you want flattish bap-like rolls then press them down with your floured palm before putting in the oven.

    Bake at 210-220 c for 15-20 mins.

    If you want the tops to remain soft then cover the tray with a clean dry cloth as soon as they come out of the oven. Allow to cool.

    Rolls freeze well.

    Thanks for that recipe, thriftlady - sounds so simple that I might just give it a try :T. I'm normally terrified of recipes that mention the 'y' word ;).
