Bread Making
andi's school has been holding cooking workshops for parents this week. they've been fun to go to and good way to meet people. yesterday we made soups and today we made bread. the chef made it look so easy and i even got to try making it there. bread making has always intimidated me before. so this afternoon i went out and bought the ingredients and made rolls for dinner. it was really quick and easy and they turned out really well. the chef also showed us how to make pizza dough, foccacia and pita bread, all from basically the same recipe. here's the recipe for the rolls...
1 kilo bread flour
3 spoonfulls white sugar
3 spoonfulls salt
625 ml tepid water
21 g dried yeast
Put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Put the yeast in the water and stir until it dissolves. Gradually add the water/yeast mixture to the dry mixture while stirring with a fork. Finish mixing with your hands to bring it all together into a ball. Knead the dough a few times. The dough will be damp. Form the dough into a ball and place in a bowl in a warm place and cover with cling film. Let rise for 20-40 minutes. It should double in size.
After the dough rises, knead again. Shape the dough in to rolls. Place on a well floured baking sheet. Let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Brush the top of the rolls with milk. Bake for about 12-15 minutes @ 200C.
Enjoy!
tonight i'll be having a leftover roll with butter and honey. mmm.....

Good for you, Somer. I could never get bread to rise.
Love,

that's something i've yet to try is breadmaking. i'm a little nervous to do it! someday soon. . . :)
I'm spoiled with my bread maker. I can get the dough all ready and then make the rolls. Haven't made rolls, though, in a long time. You've inspired me to do it again soon. When I used to try to make bread from scratch, I had the same results as your grandmother - couldn't get the dough to rise properly.
Good for you!
that's a nice program at the school!
