Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and got lots of good deals on Black Friday hehehe, for those outside US, hope you all are having the time of your life. C’mon, chin up, Christmas is right around the corner. Oh, the cinnamon aroma taking over the kitchen, the smell of fresh-cut Christmas tree, the carols playing at the radio while driving, the cookies, oh, the cookies, the sexy gingermen, and let’s not forget about the presents and the kisses under the mistletoe 

I love this time of the year, if it is up to me I’d skip Thanksgiving and start decorating next day after Halloween

Now, back to my latest dinner rolls accompanied by some Christmasy music

 

 

Ingredients

4 cups bread flour

1 package dry yeast

1 cup lukewarm milk

1/4 cup butter

1 egg

For topping

1 egg

poppy seeds

sesame seeds

black sesame seeds/nigella

sea salt

* you can use whatever you want to top them or even leave them plain.

Directions

Make a well in the middle of the flour. Cream the yeast and little milk, pour into the well and leave about 5 minutes.

Add the egg and  melted butter

 

Start mixing while slowly add the rest of the milk forming a smooth and elastic dough.

Place in a greased bowl, cover with foil and leave to rise until doubled.

When risen, take the dough out and divide it into 12 (almost) equal balls.

Shape each ball as you wish or as shown HERE

 

Place them on baking sheets and leave to rise again. Meanwhile heat the oven at 425F.

Brush them with egg and sprinkle with seeds/salt if you use.

 

Bake them for 16-18 minutes or until golden.

 

enjoy

 

In case you were thinking we don’t have the tree up, you were wrong, hubby did today

Did you start decorating the house ?

    Your rolls are absolutely gorgeous!! I had a bit of a bread failure this Thanksgiving… my traditional bread braid was off in texture. I’m not sure what happened.
    Lovely photos! I’ve printed the recipe for later!! These will be popular in our family.

  2. Wow, love your dinner rolls. You make it look so easy. They look absolutely beautiful, and light. The Christmas tree looks so pretty with the lights on…before you know it Christmas is here, and the New Year!
    You’re ahead of everybody. I applaud you…Bravo!

  3. Those bread rolls look so delicious I can almost smell them! Or at least my imagination is telling me so. Very impressive, and you made them look so simple. I have quite a bread phobia – I think I will have to give these a go. Are you able to give an indication of the size of ‘one package dry yeast’? I’m in Australia so I am not sure what is the standard package size in the US.

    All of your various roll shapes are beautiful and they look delicious! In Canada, where I grew up, Tgiving was in October before Halloween, so it didn’t look weird when you started decorating in mid-November. I am still getting used to “the holidays” meaning both Thanksgiving and Christmas, since they are so close together.

  11. Pachecopatty Says:

    Beautiful rolls! I like all the different shapes you made, it looks like fun and I’m sure delicious. Congratulations on getting the tree up right after Thanksgiving, it’s nice to enjoy if for as long as possible;)

    We haven’t put up our Christmas decorations yet–we’re planning on making a holiday afternoon date on Saturday to put them up and get out the Christmas music.

  14. I love this time of year too! We just got back from a weekend in the mountains and now I am itching to dig out the decorations and put them up! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to wait til the weekend like my husband wants to 🙂 Your rolls looks fantastic! You have that knot technique down to a science…jealous!
