Crusty Bread Rolls
Baking bread is the best kind of therapy, it’s always great for working out aggression and anxieties - and at the end of it, you get to eat fresh bread! With a crisp crust and fluffy insides, these rolls are perfect to have with soup, as a side to a salad, or just eaten warm with a large helping of melting butter. Delicious!
Ingredients
250g strong white bread flour
250g wholemeal bread flour
20g dried yeast
10g salt
1tsp sugar
50g softened butter
290ml lukewarm water
Method
Put the yeast and sugar into the warm water - mix well and leave for 5 minutes to start to work.
In a large bowl of food mixer with the bread hook attachment, put both flours, salt and butter - mix well. Add the yeast and water mix and combine. Knead for 5 minutes until soft and pliable. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film - leave in a warm place for an hour to rise so that it is doubled in size.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Gently shape each piece into a ball and place onto a baking tray covered in parchment paper.
Leave to rise for an hour - until doubled the size
Preheat the oven to 220c.
