sorry to sound dumb but what is interval speed? thanks 🙂
Your kneading function 🙂
I was really excited to make these!! The bread is WAY to dense my kids wouldn’t eat them 🙁
How long did you let the dough rise for?
I just realised the recipe didn’t say. Have you seen my bread tips on the right hand side of this blog?
I made these this afternoon and OMG they are perfect!! I read your bread tips and decided to knead them in thermie for an extra 3 minuets. They are light and fluffy and just delicious!!
I was just wondering if these freeze well? Looking at doing a big cook up over the next couple of days and was thinking about these.. Thanks
I don’t recall ever freezing them but freeze bread products all the time so I imagine they will be fine once thawed.
Hi the cheese and bacon rolls are amazing I make them ever Sunday for school lunches for the week. When cooled make them up and then freeze take out every morning fresh for lunch.
Thank you very much great recipe
Can I use instant yeast?
Yes you can
Hi there. I was inspired to make your cheese & bacon rolls after your facebook post the other day. They turned out well but the texture of the bread is a little damper like. Is this the way it should be? I didn’t use bread improver. Your suggestions would be appreciated when you get a chance. Thanks heaps, Kim
Bread improver will give you a lighter, fluffier result. It may need more rising or cooking time? It may not be completely cooked.
These are just fantastic, the bread is so light a fluffy.
Whilst the topping and the insides taste nice, the outside of ours are very hard. Are they meant to be light and fluffy like store bought cheese rolls ?
I did make smaller rolls, but i couldnt reduce the cooking time as they didnt look cooked before 30 min.
The outside will be slightly crunchy but not hard. It will depend on how much tipping you put on. The more topping, the softer they are. They are light and fluffy inside.
Made these today for lunch – they were really nice and very simple!!
Best recipe ever! No one could believe they were homemade, so much better than the shops. I added some tomato supreme to the top before the bacon and cheese. Softest, fluffiest bread. Definitely a winner here.
Made these last night.. first time I’ve used bread improver in any of my breads and wow the difference is amazing! Soft and fluffy just like store bought rolls and so so yummy!
Thanks Peta!
These are simply perfect! So light and fluffy, thank-you Peta for another great recipe.
OMG made these today and they turned out like mini pizza’s. So delicious and yum. Was a winner all round. Yay!! Thank you Peta 🙂
Thank you so much for this recipe! Made it today and hubby loved them! They turned out perfect! Definitely going to make these again!
Just about to make these – using unbleached spelt flour – does the quantity of water / kneading time differ??
You will require less water 🙂
These are great! They are now on our weekly rotation. They also freeze really well too.
Awesome rolls, halved the recipe and only used cheese as a topping. They were so fluffy and delicious. Kids loved them!
Peta, your bread recipes are the BEST! Always turn out so light and fluffy. Your cheese and bacon rolls, and scrolls are a regular rotation for my kids lunches. I always have some in the freezer too.
What flour to use if I am subbing GF is it plain or sr
