Perfect Breakfast Rolls, ready in time for breakfast!

Here's our latest bread video, and we really like this one. Everybody likes good warm breakfast rolls in the morning, but a lot of people think that you would have to get up at 4 in the morning to make them for breakfast! Well with our technique it will only take you 30 minutes to get your rolls ready for breakfast, and if you have an oven that you can set for a certain time then it will really only take you 10 minutes in the morning! For fresh breakfast rolls! I think that's pretty good. The trick is really to do all your prep the night before. So the dough is prepared, mixed, kneaded, risen and then you shape your rolls and coat them in a variety of seeds that you like. Then you just cover them with a kitchen towel and put them in the fridge to double in size overnight. Now this is really only possible because we've prepared the dough properly and because we're using good quality white bread flour. White bread flour reacts very quickly to yeast, and even though you're normally recommended to let your bread dough rise in a warm environment it's ok to leave the rolls in the fridge overnight. The yeast reaction doesn't stop in the fridge, it's just very slow, but steady and thus ready in the morning. Now we haven't tried this recipe with other types of bread flour, like wholemeal etc, but I suspect that it will work to a certain degree but not as well as the white bread flour. We this technique is really a winner and possible for everybody! It's simple enough and not too much work, and if you can't try it during the week, it will surely be an amazing recipe for a lazy weekend breakfast or brunch. So do give these rolls a go and we hope you enjoy the video :)
