    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 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.

    Can I use instant yeast?

    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!

    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??

    • Peta February 5, 2015 at 12:16 pm - Reply

      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.
