German Bread Rolls
Delicious dinner rolls using a bread maker.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- * 1¼ cups lukewarm water
- * 2 egg whites
- * 1 tsp salt
- * 1½ tsp sugar
- * 1 tbsp soft butter
- * 3½ cups Manny's Choice Flour more may be needed
- * 1 tbsp yeast active dry
For the egg wash:
- * 1 egg white
- * 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Put all dough ingredients into bread maker.
- Set bread machine to dough setting. (This will take about 1 & 1/2 hours)
- NOTE: after the first few minutes of the machine kneading the dough, check that the dough isn't sticking to the sides of the bread maker and has formed a 'ball'. If the dough is sticking, add a tablespoon of flour, let it knead and gradually add more if needed. The dough should come together without sticking to the pan.
- When dough is ready, remove it from Bread Maker. Place dough on counter that's lightly dusted with flour and gently fold it several times.
- Form into a roll, about 12 - 16 inches long and then cut into 12 sections.
- Form each piece into a ball and place onto 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until double in volume, about 45 minutes.
- About 15 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 425°F. Place an empty baking sheet on bottom rack.
- When oven is hot, gently brush rolls with egg wash (mixing 1 egg white with 2 tbsp milk). Cut a fairly deep slash in top of each roll with very sharp knife.
- Place 1 cup of ice cubes on the hot baking sheet in oven just before placing baking sheets with rolls into oven.
- Bake for about 18 - 20 minutes or until tops are nicely browned. Be careful when removing the rolls from the oven ... there may be steam that escapes when you open door (from ice cubes).
- Remove to rack and let cool for about ½ hour before serving.
