Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 C Hot Water finger should just touch it and be very warm
  • 5 Tbsp. of salted butter each quarter cut into ¼’s
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 Tsp Sugar
  • 2 Tsp Mediterranean Sea Salt
  • 5 ½ C Bread Flour
  • 2 ½ Tsp Yeast for bread machine
Top Of Rolls
  • 1 Egg White Whisked
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame Seed ** Not for dough
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Salt **Not for dough

Method
 

  1. Dough Mode On Machine
  2. 1 ½ Hours is my dough mode length.
Dough Method
  1. Make certain water is warm, and place the butter into the water. Place this mixture into the Bread Machine basket. Add in Dry Ingredients less the yeast.
  2. On top of Flour, create a well with your finger so that the Yeast can be placed in there and not touching any liquid.
  3. Program Bread Machine, Close Lid and allow dough to knead for 1 ½ Hour.
METHOD Roll Preparation
  1. At end of cycle, prepare a tray with flour (about ½ c) and knead the dough lightly into ONE large ball.
  2. Cut this ball into 1/2 . Then further cut each ½ into 4 more equal pieces. Repeat with the other half.
OVEN
  1. Preheat oven for just a few minutes to 175° Fahrenheit but do not let it achieve the full pre-heat, you just want the oven warm.
  2. After 2 minutes or so, turn the oven off.
  3. Close door, you are now ready to allow the rolls to rise once you create them.
TRAY
  1. Have a tray lined with parchment paper, ready and waiting for each round you are about to create.
  2. Work with each piece of dough, creating what I made: 3” circle no more than ½” thick down to ¼” – remember these will rise again.
  3. When you get the round circle to 3 inches, I used a wooden spatula, straight edge, I put an indent down the middle and then tucked and turned the roll on the tray. Repeat this procedure over and over through all 8 rolls.
  4. Allow bread dough rolls to sit in the oven, covered with parchment paper for about 40 minutes. Remove.
OVEN Preheating
  1. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
BREAD - OPTIONAL
  1. Crack egg white, whisk. Use a brush and brush each roll with the egg white. Now you can get creative. I spattered on set with sesame seed and the other set with a light garlic salt (just a pinch on each) This is totally optional, just an add-on I created
  2. BAKE
  3. Place rolls in oven, bake at 375 ° Fahrenheit for 40 minutes, they will be light and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
