American Parker House Rolls#BreadBakers

In: American, Bread Bakers, Breads

This Parker House Rolls are soft, buttery, fluffy and delicious. They are so light and easy to make and can be easily made ahead of time. The recipe for Parker House Rolls first started appearing in cookbooks in the 1880s.

For Bread Bakers this month our theme is American Breads, decided to try these rolls, there is no difference in preparing the dough - just as we make any other dinner rolls, only difference is in the shaping method.

These dinner rolls are made by flattening the center of a ball of dough with a rolling pin or skewer, then folding the dough in half and the folding of dough on itself while shaping the rolls.

The top of the dough is brushed with butter which gives a nice rich and buttery flavor to the parker house rolls. My tip - I have made these roll small, would suggest that they should be made a little bigger. These a really good to make sandwiches too.

Ingredients
350 Grams All Purpose Flour
135 Ml Milk
1½ Teaspoon Instant Yeast
35 Grams Sugar
¾ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
50 Grams Butter
1 Large Egg
Method
In to a bowl add in the lukewarm milk, yeast, sugar, salt and egg. Combine them together. Then add in the butter (preferably softened, at room temperature which is easy to blend).Now add the flour into this and combine everything together.

Now transfer the dough on to a clean work surface and we need to knead the dough until it forms a smooth and elastic dough.
Keep the well kneaded dough on the counter and cover it with a bowl. Let the dough sit and relax for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes this dough doubled in size.

After 30 minutes of resting the dough, place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough using a rolling pin into an approximate square shape of 11 inches x 11 inches x ½ inch thick. So that the sheet has a thickness of ½ inch.

Brush the top of dough with softened butter or melted butter.
Divide it into equal pieces. The more similar they are in size, the more even they will get baked).

Now take a toothpick and make a light indent in the center.

Fold the dough on to itself, to ¾ of the length as shown above.

Place the rolls on the prepared baking tray (greased or lined with parchment paper) with the smooth surface on top. This will prevent the rolls from unfolding while they proof and bake.

Cover the dinner rolls with a plastic film and let them rise until they puff up really well.

Bake the dinner rolls at 180°C with both elements on for 15-18 minutes. The baking duration may vary according to the size of the rolls. Bigger rolls will take longer and smaller rolls will get baked in less time.Brush them with butter as soon as they are out of the oven.

Enjoy the softest fluffiest, buttery Parker House Rolls!

Small Sourdough Bread#BreadBakers

In: Bread Bakers, Breads, Sourdough

A Perfect crispy sourdough bread. Wanted to try baking it in baking pan covering it with a lid, seen so many reels, so tried it and it turned out fantastic. No need for a dutch oven now you can bake crispy bread by this method too. No need to heat the baking pan too. Such an easy way to bake bread.

Ingredients
3 Grams Salt
110 Grams Water
33 Grams Active Sourdough Starter
170 Grams Bread Flour
Method

Combine active starter, salt, and warm water in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the flour, then knead lightly until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or aluminum foil) and let the dough rest at room temperature for bulk fermentation, about 6-8 hours.
For the first two hours of the bulk ferment, try to do 3 – 4 rounds of stretch and folds. Start with the first one at least 30 minutes after mixing the dough.

Flatten the dough into a rectangle, and gently fold about 1/3 of the dough from one short edge over toward the center, then repeat with the opposite edge so they overlap a bit. Rotate the dough 90 degrees, then gently roll it up. Finally, shape it into a more of a round form.

Place the dough in a proofing basket lined with a lightly floured tea towel. Cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, preheat your oven the oven temperature of 450°F (about 200°C) for about 20 minutes.
Place a piece of parchment paper over the basket, and gently turn the basket upside down to release the dough onto the paper.

Score the top of the dough with a sharp knife or razor blade. Place the bread in a baking pan and cover with a lid.

Bake it for 25 minutes then remove the lid and bake for another 20 minutes or until the bread is done. When tapped hollow sound comes.

Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack. This prevents the underside of the dough from becoming soggy.
