Recipe for White Bread Rolls
shaped like, well, little bums! (in the picture, they are on the left)
Servings:0
- 600 g White flour Strong if you like them firm, plain if you like them soft
- 360 Warm water
- 6 g Dry yeast 3 g instant, 12 g fresh
- 10 g Salt
Put the flour in a bowl and make a well. Spoon in the yeast and add 100 g of warm water. Have a coffee and wait 15 minutes. Add the rest of the water and the salt and knead well for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is elasticy and stretchy. Pop it back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until is has doubled in size. Alternatively put it in the fridge over night.
Pull the dough out of the bowl and divide it into equal pieces of about 75 grams. Roll these into tight little balls and put them on a baking tray that you have lined with parchment. Space them about 2 inches apart. Take a chop stick (or a thin handle of a spoon) and push it down, legthwise, into each bun almost to the bottom. Then turn each bun over. Cover with a cloth and let rise again for about 1 hour.
Turn the buns up again and gently re-press them with the chopstick again if the indentation has completely disappeared. Spray with water and sprinkle with seeds. Bake in a preheated 230 degree celcius oven for 15 minutes or so. If you tap the bottoms of the rolls they will sound hollow. Cool completely if you can!
