MJ thanks for the reminder about the glass of water. I keep forgetting it.

Sweet soft fluffy rolls. Reminds me of the McDonalds buns. They are way too sweet.

Just made these today and they are delicious. The kids love them, I think it's easier for them to eat the soft rolls.  I had no buttermilk so substituted half yogurt and half milk as per Achookwoman's suggestion. Will definitely make them again.

This has fast become my favourite bread dough recipe.  I am adapting it for my own needs but the original really doesn't have to be tampered with.  I just like to experiment!
I have made this into a free form loaf and cooked it for forty mins on a pizza stone lined with baking paper.
Today I made it with half wholemeal flour and it is beautiful.  I also reduced the sugar down to 20g.
The reason I like this bread so much is that because it is soft it tends to keep a bit better and it is also more appealing to my children.
I'm going to try it in a loaf tin tomorrow to see how that goes.  i've also frozen half of my loaf tonight for times when we need fresh bread and I don't have time to make it.
This, to me, is the nearest you can get to the soft shop bought breads.  I really like it.
And as an aside, I have noticed the biggest change in my children since they haven't eaten commercial bread.  I never bought cheap white bread - always brands that I thought were healthier, but the difference in their little personalities since making my own is a delight.

Made this today - tweeked a touch this way.  Didnt realise I didnt have all of the buttermilk when I started making it so in the second part I made one cup of milk with 1 tsp of vinegar to make buttermilk.  I also used half Spelt wholemeal flour and half bakers flour. 
Still tasted great and soooo soft !

Hello, this is my first post And the rolls are my first recipe from the FFS book too!  They were great.  I didn't have buttermilk, so used milk with a tsp of vinegar.  I've never made a roux at the start of a bread recipe before, so it was fun to try something different. I managed to get 13 rolls from my dough.  I found the rolls sweet & very soft - perfect for kids or with jam.  I'll definitely make these again.

I saw this one this morning too and just had to make it. I didn't have buttermilk so I did the squirt of vinegar trick. I also made a loaf instead of rolls. It was so super delicious ate 1/3 of it as soon as it was out of the oven! I will certainly be making this again

Thanks for the reminder. I love these. I got some cream cheap the other day and made butter, so have buttermilk in the freezer.

I didn't have any buttermilk so used half Greek Yoghurt and milk.

[meganjane]

Yoghurt is a good substitute Brenda.

I reckon this recipe would make the best paris buns. A touch of nutmeg in the dough and some pink icing and coconut sprinkled on top!

I've just made these rolls for the first time - they are cooling as I type. They look gorgeous and feel very soft. Just going to have them for lunch with the bacon and cauliflower soup, recently given on the forum. Oh, how on earth did I get through all these years without a Thermomix? I just couldn't be without it now.
