Isi´s easy Portuguese Rolls

[Bimby Girl]

Yummy, made these delicious rolls today.  Thanks for the recipe

I made these rolls and like everyone else they were fabulous, and they looked just like the picture! This was finally my first real bread success - thank you Isi, i think i am going to start trying all your bread posts!

I did find that they were still a little heavy inside. Should i add a little more yeast, or increase the resting time? I did use powdered yeast, as i havent been able to find fresh yeast anywhere in Sydney. Does anyone have any ideas, as I am planning to bake some more rolls this afternoon for the family BBQ (yes to show off my new bread making skills too)

Hello 

I am so happy that this recipe stillis so popular - thank you for all the nice comments!

@mel: maybe try to rest them a litle more time. I dont have much experience with dry yeast so I dont know if that can be the reason.
When I have visitores for BBQ I love to make this one:

maybe you will try it - it is soooo easy to make and you can adapt it with your favorite flours and seeds.

Best regards

You can buy fresh yeast at any Bakers Delight. They will cut you a hunk and probably charge you the price of the cheapest loaf of bread as they just have that on the till. They find it hard to figure it out so maybe make that suggestion. Works for me. Sometimes the manager will just charge a dollar or two and pocket it. Whatever.

You may not have given them enough time to rise in the 2nd.rise, (after you shaped them),  or the room wasn't warm enough for them to rise in the time stated..The room should be about 20 - 25 degrees.
I don't think the problem is the dry yeast, as this is what I use all the time.
Persist as this is a fab. recipe from Isi.

  made these today for the second time and today i had success "yay" first time i think i used some honey that doesn't apppeal or maybe added too much. But i did use Aldi's organic honey today and the bread still warm from the oven has been devoured!!! Thank you so much Isi it is the lightest loaf of bread i have made so far!!

[Denzelmum]

Thank you, Isi.  this my new favourite.  Second time I made it had drama, attending crying toddler while kneading and TMX fell off from the bench     Learninghard way.  Releived that no major issue, back from technician today, and guess what, made another one now!

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Oh my goodness.  What a scare.  Somewhere on the forum I read a good tip for that.  Sit a plastic bowl in between the TM and the edge of the bench when on the kneading cycle.  If the bowl drops to the floor it is time to check the TM.  I know HQ advise not to leave it at all, but that can be so tricky with little tots.

[Denzelmum]

Thank you for the tips, Chelsea!

Your experience is a good reminder to us all of what can happen Denzelmum.  Mine rarely moves around so I've been a bit braver leaving it to do it's kneading whilst I've left the room.  Not any more, I'm staying with it in future.  I would be devastated to hear that noise as it hits the ground.

[Terri]

  that was lucky Denzelmum, and great idea thanks for passing that on Chelsea i'll have to start doing that!!

[Radha]

Thank you Gretchen for putting me onto this recipe!!

I make these rolls all the time, I also made the pizza dough out of them (substituting the honey with olive oil instead).

After all the great reviews I had to try this tonight as a precursor for a BBQ dinner tomorrow. We all loved them. They were so crunchy and tasty. Definitely on the menu tomorrow. Thanks isi.
