MY "VERY NORMAL" BREAD

[Thermomixer]

Good work JulieO - they look great too.  Like the idea of putting the dough back for another knead in the TMX after fiirst rise - cleaner

[JulieO]

Thermomixer, even better is that it does its first rise in the bowl, so don't even need to put it back into the bowl to give it the knead. 

Judy, I baked for about 10 more mins I think, about 30 mins all up.  I just kept checking until they looked about done. Also let them sit on a rack to cool down which would have helped to dry out a bit more too.

Have put 3 aside to have with tea and wrapped the remainder individually and put into freezer.  Be interesting to see how they are after freezing but am very happy with these.

I thawed 2 out to have with our lunch JulieO - they were fine. You didn't let the dough sit in the TM bowl any longer after you did the second kneading? Just went straight into the making of the bun shapes then left to sit for the 10 mins on the tray as stated?

I would like to make these loverly rolls,  but how many teaspoons of dry yeast would I use ?   Help please.

Yes, just the 10 mins because I think I left the dough sitting just a little too long in the bowl for the first rise.  When I came into the kitchen to check it, it was like an eruption out of the hole  , That's when I eased it back into the bowl and kneaded for the minute and it was all nice and mixed in again.  Then made into rolls and left just for the 10 mins and then baked.  They came out fine.  Next time I won't let it rise as much for the first rise, but it certainly didn't do them any harm. 

Chookie, I used 2 tsp

Hi Chookie - JD was waiting on Isi to reply - but think she may have missed the query.

I would use 2 teaspoons (about 1 sachet) as it seems about right, and it is about 1/3 of the fresh yeast wt in dry yeast.

Thanks JulieO and Thermomixer.

Sorry just jumping in here, I rise my normal bread twice, can the first rise be done in the tmx bowl and then can I do a 'knock down' before shaping and rising in bread tin? If so, does anyone know how to do the knock down or should I just run the interval setting till it looks good?

[JulieO]

Babymaker, after the first rise in the TM bowl, I set on Interval speed  for 1 minute, removed from bowl and shaped into rolls, put onto trays and let rise again for about 10 mins as they then seemed ready to bake.

Thanks for your reply Julie, will give it a go

I apologize for not being able to help with your questions sometimes!
As previously commented - When I sleep - You guys cook!
But there is always someone available to help you here!
Thank you so Much!!!

@JulieO  -  Beautiful your rolls -  I am soooo happy!!!

chookie, I used 1 sachet but next time I will use fresh - I have little batches in the freezer but I made these rolls on the spur of the moment and couldn't wait for thawing. I thawed some in the microwave once and the bread was a flop so I won't be doing that again.

I sometimes add the frozen yeast to the milk when preheating at 37º for a minute or two and it workes great.

[judydawn]

Thanks Barbara. Never though of doing that.

Hello
I always buy packs of 250 grams Fresh Yeast in our Local Bakery!
I do little bits of 20-25 grams - wrap it in cellophane and placed in the freezer!
When I need it - take it directly from the Freezer in to a bit of warm milk!
Resulted ALWAYS!
