Instructions

Step 1
  • Combine the flour, yeast, salt and caster sugar in a large bowl.
Step 2
  • Make a well in the center of the flour in preparation for the wet ingredients.
Step 3
  • Measure 300ml of luke warm water and add 3 tbsp of melted Lactofree Spreadable. Pour this into the well of flour and gradually mix the flour in until it forms a dough.
Step 4
  • Place your smooth dough into a lightly oiled, covered bowl and leave to prove for an hour.
Step 5
  • Once your hour prove has finished, knock back the dough for a good 10 minutes, then roll into a long sausage shape and divide into 8 sections. Form these sections into small rounds and place on covered baking trays for another hour. Whilst proving preheat the oven to 220C/fan.
Step 6
  • Cook your rolls in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack, tapping the bottom of the rolls to check that they sound hollow. Cover with a clean tea towel when cooling. This will absorb the moisture from the heat coming off the rolls.
Step 7
  • Sprinkle your crusty bread rolls with the leftover flour and serve!

Use high heat

Bake your bread rolls in a preheated oven at a high temperature, around 220°C (430°F). This encourages a crispy crust while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.

Steam for crustiness

Create steam in the oven during the first few minutes of baking by placing a shallow pan of hot water at the bottom of the oven. This helps to develop a crusty exterior.

Allow for rising time

Ensure that the dough has sufficient time to rise. A well-risen dough will have better texture and flavor. Consider doing a long, slow rise in the fridge overnight to enhance the taste and crustiness.
