Where would our life be without the past our ancestors lived through? Let’s make bread rolls and explore the possibilities along the way!
As I most recently have a little time, I was looking on the internet last week. In search of fresh, intriguing ideas, inspiring dishes that We have never tried before, to astonish my loved ones with. Looking for quite some time but could not find too many interesting things. Just before I thought to give up on it, I discovered this delicious and easy dessert simply by chance. It looked so scrumptious on its pic, it required immediate actions.
It was simple enough to imagine the way it is made, its taste and just how much my hubby will enjoy it. Actually, it is quite easy to please him when it comes to cakes. Anyhow, I went to the site: Suncakemom and then followed the simple instuctions that were coupled with great shots of the method. It just makes life quite easy. I can imagine that it’s a slight effort to take pics in the middle of baking in the kitchen because you will often have gross hands so I sincerely appreciate the effort and time she devote to make this blogpost .
With that said I’m empowered to present my own, personal formulas in the same way. Appreciate your the concept.
I was tweaking the main formula create it for the taste of my loved ones. I can say it turned out an incredible outcome. They prized the flavor, the overall look and enjoyed having a sweet like this in the midst of a stressful week. They ultimately requested even more, more and more. Hence the next time I am not going to make the same miscalculation. I am likely to twin the volume .

Measure the flour then add the starter, yeast and the lemon.
Start kneading the dough and gradually add the water. When the dough is somewhat got together add the salt too. Salt plays an important role in tightening gluten structure so try not to skip this step.
We are after a fairly soft and tacky dough here so don’t be scared if the dough doesn’t come off the side of the bowl or from our hands.
Place the dough into a big bowl or just to a place with a temperature between 68°F – 81°F / 20 – 27°C where it can rest for 90 minutes. If we are short of big bowls just sprinkle some water on the dough then cover it with a clean damp kitchen cloth. If the water evaporates from the kitchen cloth just sprinkle some more on it.
In 90 minutes, our dough should double in size. With a bit of luck the kitchen cloth won’t stick onto the dough either.
Flour the top of the dough then flatten it by hand.
Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces which are about 3 oz / 80g each.
Start rolling the dough into a ball with a circling motion with our fingers are bent inwards.
The dough should stick to the working surface that will help us shaping a uniformly stretched surface. Apply a couple of drop of water to the bottom if they don’t stick.
On the other hand the dough will stick to our hands that will hinder our ability to make nice balls out of them so don’t forget to dust the hands before each dough rolling.Still in doubt? Check out: How to roll bread roll No.1
Once we have rolled up all the dough, sprinkle water on them.
Cover the moist dough balls with a damp kitchen cloth.
Then place the covered dough into a 68°F – 81°F / 20 – 27°C spot for 30 minutes.
Give them another roll. If all done well during the process of rolling, we can see and hear air bubbles coming and deflating. This will be the final shape of the bread rolls so mind not to tear the surface now. Hey, there is a video about this: How to roll bread roll No.2
Place the rolled dough balls onto a baking tray with a parchment paper or use flour to dust it beforehand then sprinkle water on top of the dough balls.
Place a damp kitchen cloth on top of the dough balls and place them to a 68°F – 81°F / 20 – 27°C spot for 90 minutes. Check if the cloth needs watering and moist it if necessary.
When the bread rolls doubles remove the kitchen cloth and sprinkle more water on top.
Now it’s time to add chia, sesame or poppy seed on top then put the bread rolls into the preheated oven.
For these bread rolls, we need steam to bake them to perfection but unfortunately not all ovens are equipped with such functions so we have to make our own steam bath. Get a couple of stones and place them into a tray onto the bottom of the oven. The stones will increase the hot surface the water can interact and create more steam quicker.
Heat the oven to its maximum with the stones on the bottom which is in most cases 365°F / 180°C. Place the bread rolls into the middle rack, pour a cup of water onto the stones and quickly close the oven door.
Bread rolls need about 15 minutes but much depends on the oven so after about 8 minutes check them if they need a hand. If only one of the sides are getting the golden brown color, swap sides.
Apply a thin coat of water on top to create a softer crust if desired.
