Extra tips
For buffets or aperitifs, prepare mini rolls and serve them as finger food.
If you want a more rustic look, brush the rolls with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped rosemary.
To make them even more fragrant, add a pinch of herbs to the dough.
Store them in a well-sealed bag: they stay soft for 2-3 days.

FAQ SUPER SOFT BREAD ROLLS easy stress-free recipe
Can I fill the super soft rolls right after baking?
It’s better to wait until they cool slightly, so they won’t break and will hold the filling better.

Yes! Once cooled, freeze them in bags and warm them up when needed: they return to being just like freshly made.
What is the best filling for the super soft rolls?
With ham and provolone they are fantastic, but also with salami, speck, or creamy cheeses they become irresistible, or with Nutella or jam for breakfast.
Is it possible to make them without butter?
Yes, you can substitute with seed or extra virgin olive oil, but butter gives them a unique softness.
