FAQs

Should you brush butter on rolls before baking? ›

Butter basting: Rolls can be brushed with butter before, during, or after baking. While it doesn't brown the surface as much as egg wash will, it does promote browning and adds a lot of flavor.

To oil the bread spindle shaft, Bread Machine Digest recommends ONLY using either 3-in-1 oil, or sewing machine oil. Do not use any other oil types on the spindle shaft and be sure to read all the information on the oil packaging before using.

Cast iron can be used on the stove top or directly in the oven. If you don't have a large 11 inch cast iron pan, you can use a glass baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. A 9×13 size would work well. It's best to have the rolls all touching each other when you arrange them in the pan, and I'll tell you why…

Butter – Melt or soften butter or margarine in the microwave before adding it to the machine. Eggs – I bring my eggs to room temperature by placing them in a cup of really warm water for several minutes before adding.

MILK: Brushing with milk will help to color the crust, the sugars in the milk helping to brown it. WATER: Water is often sprayed or brushed onto bread before it is placed in a very hot oven, and during baking, to give the bread an extra-crisp crust.

Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Brush rolls with approximately 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.

besides the nutritional benefits there are a few other good reasons to use egg in breadmaking. It makes the bread lighter and fluffier. The reason for that is the fat in the yolk that inhibits gluten formation just as any other fat would. This results in a looser dough that can expand and puff up more.

Just be sure to use a flour with a high protein content. King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, with its high gluten, is an excellent flour for bread machines.

This can affect the bread by adding a "yeasty" taste if you put too much into the dough. General amounts of yeast are around 1 - 2 % of the flour, by weight. Too much yeast could cause the dough to go flat by releasing gas before the flour is ready to expand.

Yeast: You can use active dry yeast or instant yeast. If using active dry yeast, the rise times will be a little longer. I recommend Platinum Yeast from Red Star, which is an instant yeast blended with natural dough improvers.

How do you know when your rolls are done? ›

Use a thermometer (I like the Thermapen) to assess the doneness of pan breads, freeform loaves, and soft rolls. A temperature of 190°F at the center will yield bread that's fully baked (soft and moist) but not over-baked (tough and dry).

Baking pans are frequently made from aluminum (an excellent heat conductor), or an aluminum-steel combination. Less common are stainless steel pans; while easy to clean and non-reactive, they don't conduct heat as well as aluminum.

too low of a temperature during the rest phase slows the yeast and it will not work fast enough to rise the loaf. Not enough sugar, too much salt, or other problems with the recipe. Salt helps form gluten to trap gas bubbles made by the yeast, and yeast needs sugar to feed on and make gas.

Water is a common ingredient, but since many people use the timer on their bread machines, most recipes call for non-fat dry milk or powdered buttermilk. However, if you are mixing your dough right away, you can certainly use fresh milk. Simply replace the water with milk or buttermilk and omit the powdered milk.

Butter, technically a dough enrichment, tenderizes bread dough and limits gluten development, yielding a softer, more tender crumb and a richer flavor. The butter in this sourdough babka dough makes the interior tender—and delicious. Photo by Maurizio Leo.

The advantages of buttering your bread before toasting:

You don't have to struggle with spreading the butter; simply dab it all over the surface and let the heat of the oven work its magic.
