Bread Rolls are a staple in most countries. They are cylindrical in shape which makes them perfect for hot dogs, dipping into soups or as a side to many roast dishes.

These rolls are easy to prepare & their even more delicious when hot with a thick layer of butter. If you’re a beginner at baking, try this recipe out & test your skills – I promise it is a flop proof recipe that will leave you wanting to bake more often.

 

Bread Rolls Ingredients:

• 4 cups all purpose flour

4. 
5. Beat eggs using a fork or a whisk & set aside.
6. 
7. Add the flour & butter to a mixing bowl.

24. 
25. Knead for 10 minutes. The longer it is kneaded, the softer it will be.
26. 
27. Lightly oil a bowl & pat excess oil onto the dough so it does not dry up. Place the dough into the bowl.
28. 
29. Cover with cling/plastic wrap & leave in a dark place to rest for 1 hour or more. I usually pop it in a turned off oven or microwave.

43. The dough should be a bit tacky, take one piece at a time & dunk it into some flour.
44. 
45. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin.
46. 
47. Fold & roll the dough in an upward motion – like a Swiss roll effect.
48. 
49. Continue the same process for the rest of the dough pieces & place onto the prepared baking tray.

52. Cover with a dish towel & allow to rest for 30 minutes.
53.
