Basic bread rolls
These basic bread rolls start from whole wheat grains, milled fresh in the Thermomix TM7 for flour with maximum flavour. The kneading function develops a smooth, elastic dough while the mixing bowl keeps everything contained. Topped with mixed seeds, these rolls deliver a crispy crust and soft crrib, ideal for breakfast or lunch.
About this recipe
Basic bread rolls Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate homemade baking project for your all-in-one kitchen machine. What makes this recipe special is that you start from whole wheat grains, milling them fresh in the mixing bowl so your flour retains all its aroma and nutrients, something shop-bought flour simply cannot match. Recipes like this one show exactly why the TM7 excels at bread making: the built-in scale weighs the water, yeast and olive oil directly into the bowl, while the powerful kneading function develops the gluten into a smooth, elastic dough in minutes, without sticky hands or a floury worktop. The dough is then shaped into rolls, finished with a generous sprinkle of mixed seeds and baked until golden. Serve them warm at breakfast with butter and jam, pack them in lunchboxes, or offer them alongside soup at a quick weeknight dinner. Once you taste a roll made from flour ground seconds before kneading, you will never go back.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Grind the wheat grains in two batches for the finest, most even flour, and let it cool slightly before adding the yeast, as very fresh-ground flour can be warm and affect the dough.
- Tip 2: Shape the rolls with lightly oiled hands rather than floured ones; this keeps the surface smooth and helps the mixed seeds stick firmly to the top before baking.
- Tip 3: For a softer crumb, add a small bowl of water to the oven during baking to create steam; for a crustier roll, brush the tops with extra olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
Recipe variations
- Seed-free variation: omit the mixed seed topping and brush the rolls with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt instead, ideal for children or anyone who prefers a plain, classic soft roll.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of ground cinnamon and a handful of raisins to the dough during kneading for a sweet winter version, perfect with butter at a festive breakfast table.
