I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread specifically for just bread and roll techniques & shaping.
We can post photo instructions or links, and help each other get creative with our dough ;)
So for your next batch of bread/rolls/etc. you make, maybe take some photo's of the shaping process.

you sure you want to see pics of Mr 5's
doggy doos knot rolls???!!!!
a great idea Maddy - I am hopeless and unimaginative :-)) :-))
-
Great idea - I have a question re rolls - what's a good way of getting even size rolls and nice shapes?
-
When I make my rolls even though they are just plain round ones I always weigh the dough for each roll and the hot cross buns were around 90 to 95 grams each. :)
-
Another who weighs the dough to even them out... is that a little OCD? LOL! :D
-
This is an excellent idea. I find I can copy anything , am hopeless at coming up with an original idea. When DD wanted a 'different' Deb. frock, she found one she liked in an exclusive shop (Georges in Collins St. in Melb). It was in black lace!!!! So I stood in front of shop window and copied it , and then went home and made it in white. So if you don't mind me copying your brilliant ideas, I don't mind sharing those that I have with you.

Thanks JD and Maddy

Might have to find a link. There are many great guides for different bread/roll shapes. Think we have a link to epis on here somewhere?

These links helped me a lot:
Shaping kaiser rolls (http://www.preparedpantry.com/howtomakekaiserrollsprintable.htm)

;D :D
I cut them equal with a spatula
-
Thx Tebasile - great links
-
I actually weigh the big lot of dough and work out how many rolls/buns I want and then weigh each to make sure they are the same size. I got sick of my rolls being all totally different sizes. I do the same with pizza dough. It only takes me a moment.
-
I'm definitely not OCD, but always weigh out my dough when making rolls!

Hi MJ - does that mean you are not Over Cream Donuts? ;)

Tonight I had some fun with my rolls.......
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_1345.jpg)
I used Tenina's bread roll recipe, but I cut the sugar down to 50g, and used full cream milk. Very happy with the results.
I also used an egg glaze which gave them a lovely golden colour.
Egg glaze: 1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water.
Plaited roll
Cut your dough into 3 pieces, and roll into same length sausages. Pinch one end together, and plait the strands from outside strand and under centre strand. Repeat process with the two outer strands.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_1330.jpg)
Tuck the ends under neatly, then glaze with egg wash and let rise.

Don't know what this shape is.....I winged it ;)
Shape the roll portion into a fat sausage, and cross over like the breast cancer symbol
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_1322.jpg)
Curl the two long strands around, and tuck under the centre piece.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_1326.jpg)
Egg wash then rise.

And the happy face, poke a hole with the end of the wooden spoon, and use a sharp knife to cut in the smile.
Egg wash, then place the poppy seeds in for his eyes and smile.......the kids love it :D

Maddy looks like you had fun today - bet it's the start of a new craze. I have only 1 roll left in the freezer so was planning to do another batch tomorrow (if there are no interruptions). Like you, I was going to try some of the designs which have been posted on here too.

(http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing002.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) I did have fun Judy.......just reliving my childhood, playing with play-doh ;)

Hi MJ - does that mean you are not Over Cream Donuts? ;)
Of course!
I know round rolls are easy, but sometimes it's hard to get them smooth on top. This is how I do it. Roll into a ball, then push the ball up between your forefinger and thumb, twisting dough underneath. These are Hot Cross Buns.

Certainly did have some fun Maddy ;D ;D ;D ;D - good to see.
-
Maddy its great to see what you have been experimenting with. Gives me the inspiration to just wing it! Love the clear cut pics.

I did plain round rolls tonight using Isi's Portuguese recipe.
Flattened a round (100g) out with my knuckles and then tuck all the sides in to form the round.
Wash with oil/water mix and sprinkled with sesame and chia seeds.
BEST BUNS in the history of EVER!!!!
:-)) ;D :-)) ;D :P

All these beautiful photos tell a story, sorry i still can't post photos. I make snail rolls. These can be any size. Take a piece of dough, form it into a long sausage, roll it around you finger, pinch the end to attach it to the coil.
-
I just posted this link in the cob thread, but thought it belonged here too, as it's quite handy for shaping bread.

There's also this one which I found when looking at Russell's link above.

-
Oh well - too slow. After thinking for ages that I should find links with pics you have already found the ones that I was going to post about.
Thanks.
There are others, but I'll leave that. things like epi sticks/rolls are here somewhere already.

Two DD's with the thickest longest hair you could imagine and I stuffed up on the plaiting of 3 Colour Bread ...(knew I should've taken more responsibility when they were younger, and not just bought a book and left all the braiding up to them to learn! its payback time i'm hearing you)
-
Thanks Tebasile - I could do that - and very impressive when finished :-*
