Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hello, I hope this is in the right place. I'm looking for a tried and tested simple recipe for making bread rolls to use in Nursery. I would really appreciate one that has worked before! Thanks Rosetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 We just use a Tesco bread mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 we use strong flour, salt and make up dried yeast to ferment as on tin! Children love to see the changes in dried yeast when mixed with water and sugar, smells looks etc etc only takes 5 mins - make sure water is hot enough , not boiling but it will withstand a high temp of water before killing yeast off. Mix together to make a dough amount of water varies as it has many variables, flour, temp, weather etc. we just know when its right! Biggest thing for bread is to allow to prove (rise) for 1 hour or til double,( we speed this up by a short burst of 20-30secs in microwave, leave for a short while then repeat, or else put it on top of cooker while it is heating up) then knock back (take air out) knead, and make into rolls, Prove again bake usually 15 mins. You can leave out the first proving but it is usually denser bread. More you knead the better the bread. Children can do this with own rolls. Afraid we all seem to be experienced cooks in our setting so do not measure ingredients for this, just know when it is right. Even make fairy cakes etc using spoons of ingredients not weighing we do manage all this in 2.5 hr session Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I use a Sainsbury's bread mix! Mould the dough into balls, and then get the children to snip at the dough. Where they have snipped, the dough will make little spikes. Add 2 currants for eyes, and you've got hedgehog bread - they're well cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks to everyone for their idea. As a novice could we make the dough one day and bake the rolls the next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliamch Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 we wrap extra dough in lightly oiled clingfilm and put it in the fridge. Karrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yes we have done the same, we tend to prove it once, then knock it back refrigerate and then carry on next day from there. (usually if too hard or brick like not enough kneading, and not left to prove enough ) Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
