These quick bread rolls are made with strong bread flour, water, olive oil and instant yeast. The Thermomix kneads the dough to the perfect consistency without any effort, so fresh, soft rolls with a golden crust are ready in no time. Ideal as a side with soup, for breakfast or filled as a snack.
About this recipe
Quick bread rolls with the Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate shortcut to fresh, homemade bread without the hard work. If you search for quick bread roll recipes or an all-in-one kitchen machine that kneads for you, this is exactly what you need. The strong bread flour develops its gluten thanks to the powerful kneading function, giving these rolls their soft, fluffy crumb and lovely light crust. Water, olive oil, dried instant yeast, a touch of sugar and sea salt come together into a smooth dough in minutes, with no sticky hands or aching arms. These rolls are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with soup, for a weekend breakfast with butter and jam, or filled with cheese for a lunchbox treat. Because the TM7 kneads consistently every single time, even beginner bakers get reliable, bakery-worthy results. Serve them warm from the oven and the whole kitchen will smell like a traditional bakery.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Use strong bread flour rather than plain flour, as the higher protein content gives the rolls their airy structure and chewy crumb. Weigh the flour directly into the mixing bowl for the best consistency.
- Tip 2: Shape the dough into equal portions so all rolls bake evenly. Cover them with a damp tea towel while resting to prevent the surface from drying out and forming a hard skin.
- Tip 3: Brush the rolls with a little olive oil before baking for a glossy, golden crust. Leftover rolls can be frozen and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore freshness.
Recipe variations
- Herb rolls: knead chopped rosemary or mixed Italian herbs into the dough together with the sea salt for a fragrant, savoury version that pairs beautifully with soup or olive oil for dipping.
- Seeded variation: brush the shaped rolls with water and sprinkle with sesame, sunflower or pumpkin seeds before baking for extra crunch, a nutty flavour and an attractive bakery-style appearance.
