Soft No Knead Bread Rolls
This bread requires no stand mixer, no kneading, or special equipment. They are so soft band fluffy that you won’t believe how easy they are to make.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1/4 cup and 2 teaspoons superfine/caster sugar
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups (480 grams/ 16.9Oz) bread flour
1 cup (236ml) warm milk
3 & 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
METHOD:
1. In a large mixing, bowl adds one tablespoon of dried yeast followed by two teaspoons of castor sugar or superfine sugar then add half a cup of warm water.
2. Using a fork, mix everything together really well then leave the mixture for five minutes until it gets thick and frothy. For the dry mix, into a large bowl, sift for cups of flour then add a quarter of a cup of caster sugar and give it a good combination. Into a jug, mix one cup of milk with three and a half tablespoons of melted butter then adds two beaten eggs and mix it.
3. Add the milk mixture and the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients gently with a spatula or spoon, and mix everything together. Make sure you do not overmix it, just mix until everything comes together into a sticky dough. Toward the end, use your hands to bring everything together then cover the dough with a damp cloth and place it in a warm place for one and a half to two hours.
4. The dough should rise to almost triple in volume. After the dough has been proofed, degas it and dump it on your work surface and gently mix it for 20 seconds then shape it into a rectangular square and cut the dough into 12 equal portions. You can make them smaller or larger how you want but make sure they are of the same size.
5. Shape them into a tight ball and line them into a parchment-lined baking dish. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for another 45 minutes until they increase in volume. Bake them in a 200-degree celsius (390F) preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
6. Immediately they come out of the oven, brush the top with melted butter which will for a wonderful crush and gives a shine to the bread. Remove the bread from the tin onto a wire rack to cool slightly and then simply tear them apart and serve. Serve with your favourite spread.
7. Enjoy your Soft No Knead Bread Rolls.
