Butter bread rolls

November 23, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

What can be better than a smell of freshly baked bread on a cold winter day?! Nothing beats that smell, it gives a feeling of calm, peace, warmth, home. For me switching on the oven and baking bread, cake or cookies and having that wonderful smell around me always meant that I can feel at home wherever I am. So important when you change homes as often as I do. That’s why this blog couldn’t have a more appropriate name! 🙂
All my life I make memories through food, its smell, flavor, shape, color… From my early childhood food was such an important part of my life that today, when I look back, I can associate most of the events and precious moments in my life with food. Like for example, returning home from school, opening the doors and having that smell of bread or a cake that my mum baked welcoming me. Or celebrating my dad’s birthdays in a restaurant with all the family, when I was about 9 years old, and having the best grilled scampi with tartar sauce, still can taste them and still they were the best I ever had! Or picking up fresh juicy raspberries from my grandmother’s garden in Slovenia and sweet blackberries in the little Croatian village where my dad was born. The smell and taste of apple strudel with lots of cinnamon that my aunt would bake whenever I would come to visit her and uncle while I was a studying in Zagreb. And it goes on and on, so many memories and always the food that brings back the clarity and details of those memories as if they happened yesterday.


Those of you who follow me here already know that I don’t use butter that often in my recipes as I tend to bake with different ingredients such as coconut oil and healthier natural sugars and non dairy milk. But there are always exceptions and this is one of them. These bread rolls have to be made with butter and they have to have some sugar in there. I have been making these for years for special occasions or when we would have guests staying over. Everybody always love them and they are really so delicious that you can’t have only one! Actually you can’t stop eating them, they are that good, specially when they are still warm, just from the oven! That’s why I make them only for those special moments.
Now, in the past I’ve been making them with regular milk, white sugar and regular butter, as it’s written in the original recipe that I have for many years (unfortunately don’t know who created the recipe). Me being me and always trying to make treats at least a tiny bit healthier, I made some little changes here that don’t change the taste even slightly. I used the unsweetened almond milk instead of normal milk, lactose-free butter instead of regular one and light brown raw cane sugar instead of white one and you really couldn’t tell the difference! So you can do it as me or you can use those original ingredients, as you wish.

Total time

Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 12 bread rolls
Ingredients
  • For dough:
  • 1 sachet dry yeast (7 grams / 2 tsp)
  • 50 ml (1/4 cup) warm water
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk (I used almond milk)
  • 600 g (4.8 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) butter (I used lactose-free butter)
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar (I used raw cane sugar)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • For glazing:
  • 2 tbsp cold milk
  • 1 egg yolk
Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in warm milk over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl melt the dry yeast in warm water.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, egg, water with yeast and milk with butter.
  4. Knead the dough (or use the dough hook of your stand mixer) until all is well combined and a soft dough formed.
  5. Cover with kitchen cloth and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  6. Once it's risen, remove the dough from the bowl and knead it gently on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Divide dough in 12 pieces and make rolls using your hands.
  8. Place them on a tray that is lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 10 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 230 C (440 F).
  10. Glaze each bread roll with a mixture of cold milk and egg yolk.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
  12. Note: the bread rolls are the best eaten on the same day but the following day they are still good, just keep them in an airtight container or wrapped in transparent kitchen foil.

There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, like refreshing mornings swims, ice creams and cold watermelon, days spent reading books, time with my family and so on.. But after a while my heart starts longing for cool winds and rainy days, morning mists, storms, dark clouds and finding beauty in the shadows… That’s where I find my inspiration and when I feel the most like myself. 🌿

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡
