i want to make bread rolls in my breadmaker. It says I should make the dough in the machine, shape it, then leave to rise for 1/2 an hour before I put it in the oven. Where do I leave it to rise? I don't have an airing cupboard - has anybody else any ideas? Or will the dough have risen enough in the breadmaker beforehand?? Any help appreciated!! :j

Just cover them with a teatowel and leave them on the side in the kitchen, when the rolls have doubled in size put them in a very hot oven.....

Hi, Yes i agree with Tootles. I take the dough out of the machine when the dough has risen and the machine has bleeped. Shape the rolls and brush with melted marg, put onto a greased tray, I cover my rolls and the tin with a large white binliner the flimsy sort, thats just the right size for my tin.
I then put that on top of my oven which is a tall one with a eyelevel grill and wait until the rolls have doubled insize usually 20-30 mins.Then pop them into a hot oven. I put the oven on to warm up and the heat helps the rolls to rise. Although you can still "prove" bread in the fridge although that of course does take longer.20p savers club

It is something of a myth that bread dough has to go in a warm place to rise. It certainly doesn't, and indeed it is better for the flavour if it doesn't.
Bread rises faster in a warm place, which is why using an airing cupboard or warming drawer etc. is often popular, but if you have the time then you can make it rise at almost any temperature (even in the fridge if you want).
With a slower rise you get more alcohol and maltose produced during the fermentation process, and these are what gives a yeast-risen bread its distinctive flavour (traditional french baguettes are usually risen overnight - which is why baguettes from a small baker in France taste so much better than the force-proved rubbish the supermarkets produce in this country).0 -

Thank you lister.
I knew that bread didn't need to be in a warm place to rise but I didn't know it was better done slower.
(Rushes off to try it.)I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

Today I have made my first lovely loaf :rotfl:
I used just ordinary plain flour cos I didnt have any "strong flour"....
was it pure luck that it made a perfect loaf ?0 -
When I was working and made bread I used to make the dough at night and put it in the frdige and then take it out and cook it when I got home from work the next day, some of the best bread I have ever made.
By the way, Tesco have just brought out their own brand of easybake yeast, and its excellent, I made a large wholemeal loaf in the breadmaker and it came up almost as big as an extra large one, you only need a teaspoon full for each loaf in the Panasoni, so a packet does 3 loaves........

Hi, Well done :T :T with your first perfect loaf, I don't know about the plain flour
though, but never the less have another go again and see what happens.
Anyway you've saved a bit of money. Good on you. I think that i will try that and if it doesn't work for me..... The dog can have it baked as Rusks.20p savers club
