Grandma’s Soft Butter Rolls

in ,

Grandma’s soft butter rolls.
Today I offer you these very soft butter rolls and rose-shaped butter buns, extremely soft, suitable for everyone and especially for children and grandmothers since their softness remains for days.
Their delicacy and flavor make them disappear one after another; they are ideal for the table, a snack, an afternoon treat and, in the rose version, also for finger food or appetizers, perhaps filled with high-quality cured meats or cheeses.
Also has Thermomix (Bimby) instructions.

Ingredients

let’s do the shopping

  • 1 egg
  • 0.35 oz fresh yeast (about 2 teaspoons (≈10 g))
  • 3.5 fl oz milk (warm (approx. 100 g))
  • 4 fl oz water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar (or 2 1/2 tbsp erythritol (≈30 g))
  • 7 tbsp butter (or margarine or extra virgin olive oil)

Tools

what we need to make them

  • Planetary mixer Or Thermomix (Bimby)
  • 2 Baking trays
  • Parchment paper
  • Work surface
  • Plastic wrap

Preparation of Grandma’s Soft Butter Rolls

  • Warm the water and milk to 99°F and dissolve the crumbled yeast.

    With the Bimby: set to 99°F for 2 minutes on Speed 1.

  • Knead in the planetary mixer or in a bowl, combining all the ingredients until you have a smooth and homogeneous dough that is slightly sticky.

    With the Bimby: knead with the dough function (spiga) for 3 minutes.

  • Transfer it to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and then with a tea towel in a warm place, and let it rise for 2 hours.

  • After this time the dough will have doubled in size.

  • Dust a little flour on a work surface and gently stretch the dough into a rectangular block (a “parallelepiped”).

  • Cut the dough into pieces of about 100 g each, then flatten them with a rolling pin without pressing too hard.

  • Roll version:

    You can also help yourself with your fingers.

  • Then roll the dough onto itself from the narrow side.

  • Place parchment paper on the baking tray and brush each roll with milk.

  • Rose version: after flattening a piece of dough,

  • Roll it onto itself,

  • Cut each roll into 2 pieces, then roll them and place them upright on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Brush them with milk and…

  • Sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

  • In both cases bake in a preheated oven at 338°F (conventional). Make sure the oven is hot when the bread goes in.

    Bake for about 20 minutes; when they appear nicely golden they are done — this depends on the oven.

  • At the end of baking, immediately remove the rolls from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool.

  • These are other shapes you can give the dough while using the same recipe.

  • Here they are ready: Grandma’s soft butter rolls and little rosettes.

Storage

You can store Grandma’s soft butter rolls in a cotton cloth for up to 3 days.
