Panini bread rolls

[jakodai]

I normally add some flour from a shaker while I'm kneading them into sausage type shapes. That helps a little with managing them. Having said that, they very rarely end up the same shape... Lol.

My dough was quite sticky for some reason and I had a lot of trouble shaping them into long rolls.  I ended up with a collection of different shapes and sizes  .  It didn't matter really as they were lovely and soft and delicious

Katie,  you did use 370ml and not 370g?  I think the 370ml worked out to about 340g if my memory serves me. 

[Katiej]

Oh I used 370g of water, maybe that is why it was sticky. I did make the dough just before I ran out the door this morning so I probably wasn't paying attention!

They were lovely rolls, but just not shaped as nicely as I would have liked.

Because I mix boiling water with tap water to get the right temperature for bread making, I always mix it in a measuring jug and not straight into the TM bowl Katie.  I though Julie was spot on with your stickiness but I just measured 370 mls into the TM bowl and it weighed 370 gms. I use Laucke's white bread flour so I don't know if the flour we are using is different.

[Katiej]

I thought 370g would equal 370mls, so I didn't measure it in a jug.

I used Lighthouse white bread flour.  I know different flours can give different results.  I did make the dough in a hurry though and might have done anything!  I didn't really notice it was too wet, until after I'd left it to rise and started to make my rolls.  I had to oil my hands and just make the best shapes I could.  It tasted lovely though so I was more than happy.

Not just this batch or recipe, but I always wish my bread and rolls looked as nice as the ones in the photo's I see on here 
They never do!

Well my scales must have been out then that day. 

[judydawn]

I sometimes weigh things on my digital scales if the TMX is busy doing something else but when I add it to the bowl, it never seems to weigh the same amount (usually less) too Julie.  When I did the water test tonight, I was very surprised it weighed the same.
Tomorrow it may not 

[JulieO]

I've actually been using my digital scales more and more as I feel I can trust them more, but the other day I measured 350ml of water in a jug and added a further tbs to get the 370 right.  I then poured it into my TM bowl to get the weight and it said 340g  It is annoying as 30g can make a big difference to a recipe like this.  Anyway thanks for checking it Judy, I'll be more careful from now on.

I made these yesterday, lovely rolls. I too had a sticky dough, no problem shaping them, although in the oven they spread out a fair bit so ended up more rounded than intended.

looks good,

Speaking scientifically 1ml water should weigh 1g at sea level. I don't think the sea level would make too much difference though.
These look tasty, I must try them.

Made this recipe into 3 bread sticks today - cooked them for 20 minutes, turned them over and cooked a further 7 minutes 180^oC.

They look lovely Judy. I must try them very soon.

[JulieO]

They look excellent Judy.

Thanks girls, I am really happy with this recipe.
