Quick Rolls

"I have tried many roll recipes and never been completely satisfied but this one finally fits the bill! It is easy, no complicated ingredients, and the rolls rise up to make very fluffy bread. Thanks go to my aunt Joyce in Nova Scotia for this one."

directions

  • Proof the yeast with a bit of the warm water and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Meanwhile, mix the flour, remaining sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
  • When the yeast is foaming and bubbling after a few minutes, mix it into the dough along with the two eggs, warm water and oil.
  • Knead the dough (it will be sticky) until smooth and elastic.
  • In a KitchenAid mixer this only takes a couple minutes on speed 3.
  • Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Punch down and then shape into rolls and let rise again.
  • I like to make cloverleaf rolls with this recipe, which involves placing three balls of dough, no bigger than a ping pong ball, in a greased muffin cup.
  • Once the balls have risen again, brush with the beaten egg for a nice brown finish and bake in a hot oven.
  • The time will depend on the size, but mine take about 15 minutes at 200 C.

  1. I also had to add about 1 cup of extra flour to enable the dough to be pinched to make the rolls. Also after only an hour of rising the dough was crawling out of my kitchenaid mixer bowl. I was very impressed with the height of the rolls and they did taste very good.
     
  2. I needed to add an additional cup of flour to make these work for me, but it was pouring down rain and the humidity here may be different. I would keep extra flour on hand or hold back on all of the water to see how it turns out. The resulting rolls were very light and quite tasty. I will make them again and when I do I will try substuting some of the oil with melted butter and perhaps some of the water with milk for a "richer" tasting bread.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
