Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5g) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon (5g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm water
Instructions
1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the lukewarm water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Shape the rolls: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them in the bread pan of your Panasonic bread maker.
3. Select the bread roll setting: Choose the “Bread Roll” setting on your bread maker. The machine will automatically knead the dough further, proof it, and bake it.
4. Adjust the crust color: If desired, you can adjust the crust color by pressing the “Crust Control” button. Choose from light, medium, or dark crust.
5. Start the baking process: Press the “Start” button to begin the baking cycle. The bread maker will display the remaining time on its screen.
6. Remove the bread rolls: Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread pan from the bread maker and turn it upside down to release the bread rolls. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
7. Enjoy your homemade bread rolls: Serve the bread rolls warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings or spreads.
Tips for Success
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Measure the ingredients accurately using a kitchen scale for precision.
- Add the ingredients to the bread maker in the order specified.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
- If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Don’t overfill the bread pan. The dough should only fill the pan to about 3/4 full.
- Let the bread rolls cool completely before slicing to prevent them from tearing.
Variations
- Whole wheat bread rolls: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Herb bread rolls: Add 1 tablespoon of dried herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, to the dough.
- Cheese bread rolls: Add 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the dough.
