Ingredients:

For the bread rolls:

  • Gellwe Wheat Bread Roll Mix – 1 pack
  • Lukewarm water – 300 ml
  • Fresh yeast – 40 g
  • Vegetable oil – 40 g

For topping:

  • Egg white – 1
  • Poppy seeds – as desired
  • Nigella seeds – as desired
  • Caraway seeds – as desired
  • Coarse salt – as desired

Soft, fluffy homemade wheat bread rolls with a beautifully golden crust. Made with Gellwe Wheat Bread Roll Mix, these delicious rolls are easy to prepare and can be topped with poppy seeds, caraway seeds, nigella seeds or coarse salt for extra flavour and crunch. Bake them individually or arrange them close together to create a decorative pull-apart bread – perfect for breakfast, sandwiches or serving alongside your favourite meals.

Preparation instructions:

  • 1.

    Pour the water into a mixing bowl, add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the bread roll mix and knead using an electric mixer fitted with dough hooks until the ingredients are combined. Add the oil and continue kneading for approximately 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.

  • 2.

    Cover the dough with a linen tea towel and leave to rise for approximately 60 minutes.

  • 3.

    Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead again. Shape the dough into a log and divide it into 16 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small bread roll.

  • 4.

    Line a flat baking tray with baking parchment and arrange the rolls on top. If you place them close together, they will join as they rise, creating a large, decorative pull-apart bread that can be separated into individual rolls after baking. Cover the rolls with a tea towel and leave to rise again for 30 minutes.

  • 5.

    Brush the risen rolls with egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds, caraway seeds, coarse salt or nigella seeds.

  • 6.

    Place the rolls in an oven preheated to 190°C and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Placing an ovenproof dish filled with hot water at the bottom of the oven at the same time will help maintain the right level of humidity during baking.
