QUICK ROLLS

Steps:

• Proof the yeast with a bit of the warm water and sugar in a small bowl.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour, remaining sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
• When the yeast is foaming and bubbling after a few minutes, mix it into the dough along with the two eggs, warm water and oil.
• Knead the dough (it will be sticky) until smooth and elastic.
• In a KitchenAid mixer this only takes a couple minutes on speed 3.
• Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Punch down and then shape into rolls and let rise again.
• I like to make cloverleaf rolls with this recipe, which involves placing three balls of dough, no bigger than a ping pong ball, in a greased muffin cup.
• Once the balls have risen again, brush with the beaten egg for a nice brown finish and bake in a hot oven.
• The time will depend on the size, but mine take about 15 minutes at 200 C.

EASY BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Tip the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and oil into a bowl. Pour over 325ml warm water, then mix (with a spatula or your hand), until it comes together as a shaggy dough. Make sure all the flour has been incorporated. Cover and leave for 10 mins.
• Lightly oil your work surface and tip the dough onto it. Knead the dough for at least 10 mins until it becomes tighter and springy - if you have a stand mixer you can do this with a dough hook for 5 mins. Pull the dough into a ball and put in a clean, oiled bowl. Leave for 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a long sausage shape. Halve the dough, then divide each half into four pieces, so you have eight equal-sized portions. Roll each into a tight ball and put on a dusted baking tray, leaving some room between each ball for rising. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to prove for 40 mins-1 hr or until almost doubled in size.
• Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. When the dough is ready, dust each ball with a bit more flour. (If you like, you can glaze the rolls with milk or beaten egg, and top with seeds.) Bake for 25-30mins, until light brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the base. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
