Makes: 8 Brown Bread Rolls Oven: 200 °C / 400 °F
Preparation Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Baking Time: 15 – 20 minutes
Ingredients
| 250 | g | Brown bread flour (2 x 250ml / 2 cups) |
| 250 | g | Cake flour (2 x 250ml / 2 cups) |
| 10 | ml | Salt (2 tsp) |
| 20 | ml | Sugar (2 tbsp) |
| 10 | g | Anchor Instant Yeast (1 packet) |
| 60 | g | Margarine (4 tbsp) |
| 125 | ml | Warm milk (½ cup) |
| 185 | ml | Cold water (¾ cup) |
| 1 | Beaten egg, to brush |
Method
- Mix the brown bread and cake flour, salt and sugar together. Add the Anchor Instant Yeast and mix.
- Dissolve the margarine in the warm milk and add the cold water. Allow this mixture to cool down until lukewarm. Do not add whilst still hot.
- Add enough milk mixture to the flour mixture to form a soft dough. If the dough is still dry and firm, add a little more water, about 10 – 20 ml.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, cover with greased plastic and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Knock the dough down and divide into 8 equal pieces, about 90 – 100 g. Roll each piece into a round ball and place on a greased baking tray.
- Cover with a greased plastic and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 – 35 minutes.
- Brush the top gently with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F for 15 – 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled down completely, cut the top of the roll off and hollow out the roll.
- Pour your soup of choice into the roll and serve.
Hint
Allow the hollowed-out bread to dry. Liquidise and store in an airtight container. Use as breadcrumbs, when required.
