HOW TO MAKE BREAD ROLLS.

Use bread flour, it is called strong flour. It comes in white, wholemeal and granary (mixed seeds). Yeast likes warmth to grow and this will help your bread rise. If all the equipment you work with are warm, such as the bowl and the room temp, this will help. Make sure the water you use is not too hot or this will kill the yeast and your bread won't rise. Okay, let's start. Ingredients.....25 gm of butter/ marg, 1 egg, beaten, 225 gm of strong white flour, 225 gm of strong wholemeal flour, 1 dsp of instant dried yeast, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of brown sugar, 275 ml of warm water. Preheat your oven to 220 deg C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Place the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips. Make a well in the centre and pour the warm water in, mixing with a wooden spoon. Now use your hands to make the dough into a ball. Spread your work surface with flour and knead the dough by streching and folding the dough over and pressing your knuckles into the dough. Repeat the kneading proces for 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and cut into 12 even sized pieces. Roll them into small balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared tray. Cover with cling wrap and leave in a warm / draught free spot for about 40 minutes or until they have doubled in size. When they have doubled in size, brush the uncooked buns with the beaten egg. Finally finish off with a scatter of seeds on the top of the buns. ( sesame, poppy, sunflower, pumpkin). Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden. You can serve your rolls fresh from the oven or cold with your favourite filling.
