30 Minute Rolls

Posted on by

I watched a woman on a FB reel make “30 Minute Rolls.” (Sorry, I don’t remember her name). I required two or three viewings of the reel before I was confident that I accurately transcribed the ingredients and method. (I did.) As is my preference, I converted the volume measurements to weights,.

Today, we wanted chicken salad sandwiches for lunch but the artisan bread I made a few days ago is now perfect for french toast or grilled cheese sandwiches but not un-toasted sandwiches. Anyway, any excuse to bake bread is a good excuse.

As per the FB reel instructions I made 90g rolls which yielded eight 4” diameter rolls. For hamburger rolls I would probably try six 123g rolls.

Unfortunately, I didn’t note the exact time I started baking, but I estimate the rolls were out of the oven and cooling in about 45 minutes.

Besides requiring only 30-ish minutes… they are soft, fresh and fantastic!!

30 Minute Rolls

INGREDIENTS
• 236g (1 c) warm water
• 6g (2 Tbl) yeast
• 12g (1 Tbl) sugar
• 1 egg
• 50g (1/4 c) vegetable oil
• 6g (1 tsp) salt
• 360g (3 c) AP flour
• 1 egg for egg wash
• 2 Tbl butter for brushing

METHOD

  1. Mix yeast, water and sugar in a stand mixer with paddle attachment for 3 minutes until it’s mixed and the yeast is activated and foamy.
  2. Add egg, oil and flour and mix using dough hook until it comes together
  3. Dump dough onto counter and knead until it it a bit smoother
  4. Cut into desired portions, suggesting 8 (92g) for ~4” rolls and 6 (123g) rolls for a larger (~5”) hamburger rolls.
  5. The dough was very sticky so I floured the bench top and patted each piece of dough in it before the next step.
  6. Stretch and fold each portion into a ball, pinch the seam together and roll on the counter
  7. Cover with a warm tea towel.
  8. Preheat oven to 400⁰ F as the dough is resting
  9. Move rolls to a parchment paper covered baking sheet and brush with egg wash
  10. Bake 12-14 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned. Internal temperature should be 195⁰ F
  11. Remove from oven and brush with butter while still hot.
