If you want something quick the day after the New Year’s Eve party, fresh baked goods are often not an option because the yeast dough has to rest for a while. Not so with this recipe: The yeast is only mixed with honey, the dough then rises in the oven later during the baking process – wonderfully uncomplicated! We’ll tell you how to make them yourself Rolls can be made with just five ingredients.
Bake lightning rolls – that’s how it works
Ingredients for 8 small rolls:
- 1/2 cube of yeast
- 2 tsp liquid honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 300 ml water
- 500g flour
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Preparation:
- Mix the yeast and honey using a fork. Then add salt and water and gradually stir in the flour using the dough hook of a hand mixer until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Form 7-8 equally sized rolls from the dough, place the dough pieces on the tray with a little space between them and score them crosswise with a sharp knife.
- Bake the rolls in the oven at 200 °C top/bottom heat for approx. 25 minutes.
Tip: If you like, brush the rolls with a little water or egg yolk before baking and sprinkle them on top Poppy seeds, sesame, sunflower or pumpkin seeds. To make cheese rolls, simply sprinkle grated cheese over the dough pieces.
Tips and tricks for your lightning rolls
You should only use fresh yeast for the breakfast rolls, as dry yeast cannot be mixed with honey. The dough can be easily varied: instead of wheat flour, you can also use spelled flour, The rolls are particularly popular with children if you stir raisins into the dough. If you prefer a hearty meal, use fried onions – then the rolls taste great in combination with a dip and can also be served as a side dish for a barbecue, for example.
