Mushroom & Garlic Rolls (Bread Machine)
These sound really good, on my to cook list. I have rewrote this to use a bread machine for the mixing and kneeding. This recipe involves a bread machine, some sauteing, and the rolls will be baked in your oven.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
- Oven
- Baking Pan
Ingredients
For the Rolls
- ⅔ cup lukewarm water, (160 ml)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 250 grams bread flour
- ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
For the Filling
- 250 grams fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 2 handfuls fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ½ cup butter, (1 stick / ½ block)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- olive oil, as needed
Instructions
- Place the Roll ingredients into your bread machine in the order listed, set the bread machine to Dough setting and let it run through the cycle.
- While the dough is getting worked over by the bread machine, heat a pan on medium heat with a splash of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the mushrooms and about ⅓ of the garlic. Saute for about 10 minutes to evaporate the moisture released and to brown them up a bit.
- Remove the mushrooms to a mixing bowl and mix in the remaining garlic. Let this sit to cool. When the mushrooms are cooled, mix in the parsley, butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the dough cycle is complete, turn out the dough to a flowered surface and punch it down to release any air. Flour a rolling pin and roll out the dough to about 12 inches (30 cm) by 4 inches (10 cm), smallest side towards you. Trim the edges to make it roughly straight lines, not looking for perfection here, just straighten up shorter ends.
- Take the mushroom mixture and spread onto to the dough. cut the dough horizontally into 10 strips (you are going to make short strips, not long ones). Each strip should be about ¾ to 1 inch wide (2-3 cm).
- Roll each strip and place on its side in a baking dish.
- Cover the dish with a towel and let it proof for about 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200° C (400° F).
- Remove the towel and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and with a brush, use the butter in the bottom of the pan and brush the tops of the rolls. If no butter is left, just melt 1-2 tablespoons and use that.
- Serve as a snack or a side.

Dinner Rolls (Bread Machine)
These are a little dense and chewy, and they are delicious! Your bread machine does the heavy work, but you will cut these, let them rise and bake in the oven. I made these on 11 Dec 2017, perfect!
Equipment
- Bread Machine
- Oven
- Baking Pan (8x8 inch)
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk, and as needed
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 448 grams all purpose flour, 3½ cups if no scale
- 1¼ teaspoon instant dry yeast
Instructions
- Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order listed. Set to dough function and note the time until the cycle is completed. Keep an eye on the dough for the first few minutes, if it appears to dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the dough comes together to a ball. I used two additional tablespoons of milk, this photo is about 10 minutes into the cycle.
- When the dough cycle is complete, roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface, cut into 9 equal portions (9 fit perfect in a 8x8 baking dish), shape into balls, and place in a baking dish with a sheet of parchment on the bottom, lightly dusted with flour as well. Let rolls rise.
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). When the rolls have risen, bake for 20-25 minutes or until nice and golden brown. Brush with melted butter when you remove from the oven.

- When the cycle is finished, spread some cornmeal on your work surface, turn out dough onto the work surface. Pat the dough out to about ½ inch thickness, a little less is ok.
- Turn the dough over so both sides get coated with cornmeal. Using a cutter, cut into rounds (a cutter the size of a tuna can would be good.
- Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the rounds on that, cover with a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat a dry cast iron pan on low heat, when hot, cook the muffins for about 5 to minutes on each side, they should be golden brown on the bottom when you turn them.

English Muffin Bread I (Bread Machine)
This comes from the King Arthur Flour website, it does have good reviews. I like English Muffins, and this toasted, screams of ham, egg, and cheese. I made this on 19 Oct 2017, mild taste similar to that of an English muffin when toasted, overall, not a bad recipe.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ¼-⅓ cup water
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1½ teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 418 grams all purpose flour, 3½ cups if not using a scale
- 2¼ teaspoons instant dry yeast
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into your bread machine in the order listed. Use the smaller amount of water in the summer, or during humid conditions; use the larger amount of water in winter, or if you're in a dry climate.
- Set your bread machine for basic white bread, 750 gram (1½ lb) loaf, light crust. Midway through the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. Adjust the dough consistency with additional flour or water, if needed.
- If you would like a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal, and place it back in the machine to rise and bake, this is totally optional.
- After the baking cycle, remove the bread to a rack and allow to cool.
- Slice, toast, and use as you would for English muffins.
Hawaiian Buns (Bread Machine)
Hawaiian Buns are a real treat, I have not had these in many many years, I think I need to correct that. You will mix and kneed the dough in your bread machine, but you will shape and bake this in your oven. This is a two part method, the sponge, and the dough.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
- Oven
- Baking Pan (9x13 inch)
Ingredients
For the Sponge
- 32 grams all purpose flour, ¼ cup if no scale is used
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons water
For the Dough
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk, white reserved
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 352 grams all purpose flour, 2¾ cups is no scale is used
- 2 tablespoons potato flour, or rice flour
- 1¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the Sponge ingredients together in a bowl, then pour into you bread machine. Let this rest for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the pineapple juice, butter, brown sugar, eggs and yolk, vanilla until well combined, add this to the bread machine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, potato flour, and salt, add this to the bread machine.
- Set the bread machine to dough setting and let it run its cycle, keep an eye on it, if the dough is not coming together, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. Dough will be sticky.
- At the end of the dough cycle, you are looking for the dough to have doubled in size, if it has not, leave the dough in the machine for another 30 to 60 minutes, the reason for this, this machine will be warm, no need to remove it yet.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently deflate the dough.
- Divide it into 16 equal pieces, by dividing the dough in half, then in halves again, etc. Round each piece into a smooth ball. Space the buns in the baking dish.
- Cover the dough with a light towel. Let the dough rise in the dish for 1 hour, until it's nicely puffy. Toward the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F).
- Mix the reserved egg white with 1 tablespoon cold water, and brush some onto the surface of the rolls to give them a satiny crust.
- Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, then place a wire rack on the top of the dish, and flip dish over to turn out the rolls in one large piece, then place another wire rack on the top and turn over to make them right side up.
- Serve warm with dinner or store well wrapped at room temperature for several days or freeze for 1-2 months, or use to make sliders.
