Rye Yoghurt Rosebud Rolls

Last weekend I baked once again Overnight rolls, something I do nearly every Sunday, when I don’t want to leave home to get freshly baked rolls for breakfast.

This time I baked rosebud rolls. This rolls are called so because during the oven spring their top will spring open like a little rosebud. To enhance this effect, the rolls can be coated with some butter as well, but it is not necessary and so I did it the more simple way.

The recipe uses some rye flour to make the rolls hearty and yoghurt to add a fresh flavour and some moisture to the crumb. The crust stays a little bit softer then of rolls solely baked with water, but that’s how my love liked his breakfast rolls.

The rolls are perfect for breakfast, with a soft, regular crumb and pairs well with either sweet things like honey or jam or an hearty cheese!

Breakfast Rolls with Yoghurt

Frühstücksbrötchen mit Joghurt (2) I was thinking about calling this recipe “Fast Breakfast Rolls” But then I realized that my kind of “fast” is not what other people would consider as “fast”. Fast means for me: I spent 15 minutes the evening before baking (and even then did my mixer most of the job) and need another 45 min the next morning (including shaping and baking) until I can serve the rolls. The ten to twelve hours the dough needs to rest do not count for me because during that time I normally sleep!

And during I sleep the dough develops a great flavour due to a long and slow fermentation. The little bit of yoghurt enhances the taste as well with it slight tangy flavour, similar to my favourite Yoghurt-Sesame-Rolls. The gentle shaping and short proofing period I saw on Brotdoc and it works very well for this rolls.

Flavourful, crusty and with a soft crumb are they perfect start into the weekend!

Crispy Bran Rolls

Kleie-KnusperchenWhen I tidied my storage cupboard some days ago, I found a bag with oat bran, something I bought a while ago for baking. But then it disappeared behind some flour bags and I forgot about it. Out of sight, out of mind! But after I rediscovered them I wanted to use them as soon as possible. And so I thought about a recipe for our Sunday morning rolls which includes some oat bran.

Because I love yoghurt in bread so much and also because I had some yoghurt left, I decided to put it into the dough, too.

When I formed the rolls I had a flash of creativity and decided to fold the tips of the quadrat to the middle. During the baking they partly unfold, forming a lot of crispy crust. The bran I sprinkle over the rolls enhanced their crispiness, too.

I’m quite happy with them, they are soft inside but crispy outside. Just what I like for a breakfast roll.

Yoghurt Bread

joghurtbrot

It is amazing how fast the year flies. It is already autumn and World Bread Day is knocking on my door. And because baking a bread with yoghurt for this day is somehow traditionally for me, I decided to bake again a Yoghurt bread in this year.

As preferment I decided to use Pâte Fermentée. I did not use this preferment for a bread for quite some time. I don’t know why because Pâte Fermentée is such a patient preferment. While Sourdough or Poolish are not willing to wait when they reach their peak the Pâte Fermentée will sit in the fridge until the baker finds time to come to kitchen and bake.

The Bread I pull from the oven the next morning (the loaf proofed in the fridge over night) had a nice even crumb which stays moist for a long time due to the yoghurt. Very delicious!

Happy Bread Baking Day!

Müsli Rolls

Müsli-Stange

For a relaxed breakfast with my sister I planed to bake some rolls. The day before I came home from work lately. It was maybe the only week of “real” (hot) summer we get this year in Germany, and so I decided to enjoy the good weather as much as possible and go swimming first. When I came home I was to tired for long kneading and make some overnight rolls.

As basic I used my all time favourite Recipe for Yoghurt Sesam Rolls, but this time with some whole rye flour and additional Müsli mix. The Müsli is a homemade mixtrue containing rolled oats and barley, raisin, dried apples, sunflower seeds, a lot of chopped almonds and sesame and flax seeds.

I let the dough rise overnight and early in the next morning I formed and baked the rolls, refreshed after some hours of sleep.

And later that day we enjoyed the rolls. They have a crust, which stays a little bit soft – just as my sister like her rolls – and a soft crumb. The overnight fermentation gave them a complex flavour and yoghurt adds some tartness. The perfect roll for sweet marmalade or honey, but great with cheese, too.

Yoghurt-Butter-Crescents

Joghurt-Butterhörnchen Sunday morning, sunshine instead of the precasted rain, a cup of coffee and a crispy butter crescent –  is there a better way to start the day?

I tested a new variation of my overnight recipes – Yoghurt-Butter-Crescents. After the Croissant bread it was time to laminate another batch of dough.

When I prepare the dough I decided to use some of the yoghurt I found in the fridge together with a milk roux as liquid component for the dough. I kept the yeast amount small to enable proofing overnight and this low amount of yeast made laminating easier, too, because the dough nearly did not rise during the laminating.

The yoghurt gave the crescent a slightly tart aroma and the long proofing make the taste more complex. The Crescents are light and crispy after baking and the honey comb structure of the crumb is not bad but still away from perfection. But this are the best croissants I ever bake so I am still happy with them!

Yoghurt Rolls with caramelized Hazelnuts

Haselnuss-Joghurt-Brötchen

The Yoghurt Whole Wheat Toast, a Variation of my Whole Wheat Sandwich-Bread that Lutz baked make me longing of a Yoghurtbread or Roll. Yoghurt in bread is something delicious. As a Breakfast roll we like the yoghurt sesame rolls very much. But always the same kind of rolls is boring and so I decided to bake some similar rolls but this time with whole spelt flour, some honey and caramelised hazelnuts – that is a delicious mixture.

When you prepare the caramelized hazelnuts I can recommend to make more then the recipe asked for. Then you can snack some and put some in the dough. I had to struggle with myself not to eat all of the nuts at once – they are so good! I roasted the nuts in the oven instead of roasting in a pan to get  more even roasted nuts.

The rolls are as delicious as I hoped for, slightly tartish from the yoghurt with a distinct sweetness from the honey and the nuts.

Christmas tree rolls

Weihnachtsbaum-BrötchenFor raclett with the family on christmas eve I volunteered to bring some bread. I decided fastly, that I want to bake Sacaduros. But then I feel that I would like to bring something with whole wheat, too.  Simple rolls are to boring for Christmas I thought but then I remember something I saw last year on Cindystar: beautiful Christmas tree rolls.

They are not so difficult to make: Rolls in the shape of stars in different sizes are pilled on each other and fixed with a wooden skewer.

Because I do not own big cookie cutters in form of a star I used Bertinets Methode to form Stars. The holes in the middle of this star I filled with small dough balls.

These little Christmas trees are a nice Eye catcher for the Christmas table Continue reading

Yoghurt Sesame Roll

Joghurt-Sesam-Brötchen

I like to bake early but on weekends I also like to sleep a little bit longer.  During the week I am a early bird but at weekends I like to stay in bed until 8 o’clock or even a little bit longer. To get freshly baked rolls for breakfast I have to think about some tricks. One possibility is to proof the rolls in the fridge. But at weekends my small fridge is often already filled with food we bought for the next week. There is no room left for a tray of rolls.

So I was hooked when I read Martins recipe for Yoghurt Sesame Rolls. The dough is mixed at the evening and ferment overnight at room temperature. Yoghurt, little yeast, long fermentation, that are everything I need to try this recipe.

The rolls are delicious – soft and a little bit tart because of the yoghurt. A simple and fast recipe I can really recommend! Continue reading

Raspberry curd cream

Himbeerschicht-Speise When Zorra asked me to host 57. Blogevent I knew really soon that the topic would be “Food to take away”. I take always some lunch snack to work because I do not like the meals in our cafeteria. Most of the time it is a sandwich of homemade bread with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, sometime its a leftover from last nights dinner. Rarely I prepare something more complicated at the weekend like little pizza snacks (I realize that I did not post them until yet!).

I love a nice picnic, too but we do this rather seldom. But now the rainy may has gone and June started with sunshine and warm weather. So its time to pack our picnic basket and find a nice spot outside!
