Loads of Rolls

Today is the day for Roll making, I have agreed to do 60 of the things, plus some Ciabatta for Millie and Me, as part of the Brixfest fundraiser.

I'm doing 20 each of Plain, Olive and Sun dried Tomato. So yesterday I started the ferments,

All ready

 

Plain

 

Sun Dried Tomato

These were left to rise overnight and this morning I completed the doughs.
By the way, my fluffy loaf misbehaved, despite the good bubbling,

 and reasonable rise,

it didn't get very high on baking.

 

 but it had a good Artisan shape,and hopefully the taste was OK.

Back to the Rolls, Friday morning, I checked the ferments,



Plain



Sun dried Tomato

As you can see, they had risen nicely, so I finished off the doughs and left them for a couple of hours. Making bread has taught me that there is no need to rush anything, it all tastes better the longer you can leave it.

After that, they were ready to shape,

Risen Dough

 

Rolls

 

Ciabatta

Then of course you leave them again,

for a second rise, while the oven heats up.

Baking is easy, its just a case of keeping an eye on the timer, and turning regularly, to get an even colour.

They all look pretty good to me.

I delivered them to Millie and Sophie agreed, Hopefully the fundraiser will go well.
