Wheel's Soft Rolls

Having a go at Wheel's rolls as we speak. The dough did not come out of the Kenwood as wet as he described, but it made 12 fine looking discs that are proving now. The rising took 2 1/2 hours and the proving is as slow, so that must be a result of old (but still good) yeast. Hope to have them done in time for lamb burgers (oregano, cumin, garlic salt and black pepper) with tzatziki mayo, red onions and mint.

If the rolls do not make, I will be a'writing Mr. Phil for advice.

Glad you like them. I now use around 110gm pieces of raw dough to make hamburger buns, or about 80gm pieces for hot dog rolls.

Made these myself the other week, cut the recipe in half though as i didn't need loads, made it into a couple of baguette shaped rolls and it was bloody nice, went great along with the pasta we had! i'll definitely make them again, next time it'll probably be for a barbeque/burgers.

Thanks for sharing the recipe Wheels.

I make these twice a week now. Not used the bread machine since 'discovering' Phils recipe.

The OH says they taste better than proper bread, however I do make mine with a 50/50 mix of wholemeal and white flour.

They work OK with all wholemeal as well.

Just finished kneading the dough for a batch of these, this time i've tried 400g white/200g brown bread flour..purely because i didn't have enough white to make 600g lol will see how they turn out later!

Just a quick note to say these rolls turned out really well, everyone at the bbq said they were really nice, so i'll definately use that mix again, lovely texture inside and nice and soft, they smelled amazing when they were baking too.
