Instructions for Making Cheese and Bacon Bread Rolls
- Preparing the Dough
- Begin by cubing the softened butter and allowing it to reach room temperature.
- Warm the milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds, then mix it thoroughly. Stir in the dried yeast and set it aside to allow the yeast to activate and foam.
- Mixing the Dough
- Utilize an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add the bakers flour, sugar, salt, and milk powder to the mixer and combine them well.
- Incorporate the milk and 1 egg into the mixer, setting it to medium speed (setting 3), until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Gradually add the cubed butter to the mixer, maintaining the medium speed. Once the butter is fully integrated, allow the dough to mix for an additional 5 minutes on setting 3 or 4. Afterward, let the dough rest for 3 minutes before resuming mixing for another 20 minutes.
- Checking Dough Elasticity
- After 20 minutes of mixing, assess the dough’s elasticity by gently pulling it with your fingers. If the dough stretches about 2 centimeters without tearing, it’s ready. If not, continue mixing until the desired elasticity is achieved.
- Proofing the Dough
- Line a large mixing bowl with oil and transfer the dough from the mixer to the bowl. Coat your hands with oil, pat some oil on the dough’s surface for easier handling, and shape it into a ball. Cover the bowl with a tea towel or cling film and allow the dough to proof in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
- Forming the Bread Rolls
- After proofing, remove the dough from the bowl and portion it into 50-gram pieces.
- Oil your hands and shape each portion into a ball. Arrange the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, keeping them spaced about 1.5 to 2 centimeters apart.
Baking Instructions
Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature for baking bread, typically around 180°C to 200°C (350°F to 400°F). While the oven is heating, prepare the egg wash by combining the beaten egg with a teaspoon of milk.
