Here's an easy bread roll recipe mixed in the food processor - no need to knead!


Makes 12

1 c / 250ml water

2 tsp dried yeast

1 tsp sugar

3 1/2 c / 500g flour (I used spelt)

1 egg

50g butter, softened

1 tbsp salt

1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp milk for egg wash (or use milk)


Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with a blade and mix until a dough forms. Use floured hands to transfer the dough into a floured bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave to prove at room temperature for at least 2 hours until tripled in size.

Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a bun and place onto the sheet, leaving room for spreading. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200C. Brush the top of your buns with egg wash. Bake for about 20 minutes until cooked through. Cool on a wire rack.
