White Bread Rolls of Happiness Using Fresh Cream
- 180 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 20 grams Cake flour
- 10 grams Panettone bread yeast starter powder
- 3 grams Salt
- 30 grams Starch based sweet syrup (sugar syrup)
- 60 to 65 grams Water (a bit warmer than body temperature)
- 40 grams Heavy Cream
- 30 grams Milk
- 10 grams Shortening
- Combine the floury ingredients together and mix well.
- Warm the water up so it's a bit warmer than body temperature, and add the syrup to dissolve.
- Add the cream and milk and mix well.
- Note: Adjust the amount of water from between 60 to 65 g, depending on the flour used, the humidity, etc.
- Add the liquid mixture from step 1 to the flour ingredients.
- Mix until it's no longer floury, then start kneading.
- You can do this in a bread machine, a mixer, or by hand.
- When the dough has been kneaded enough to form a gluten film (the dough can be stretched out to a thin film), divide it into 8 to 10 pieces with a pastry scraper or similar.
- Return the dough pieces to the mixer, add the shortening and knead it in.
- When the dough has formed a good stretchy gluten film, the kneading is done.
- Round it off so that the surface is smooth and taut, put into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise (1st rising).
- It should be OK to let it rise in the bread machine too.
- I used my oven's bread-rising setting at 30 to 40C, and let it rise for 60 to 80 minutes.
- It will increase to 2.5 its original volume.
- Divide the risen dough into 7 portions.
- Round out each portion with a taut, smooth surface.
- Cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, deflate it completely, and round it off again with a smooth, taut surface.
- Pinch the seams securely closed.
- Put the dough on a baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment paper.
- Dust with bread flour (not listed in ingredients) using a tea strainer.
- Press down in the middle of each dough ball with floured chopsticks to make a dent.
- Press down firmly until the dough is almost cut in half.
- Let the dough rise again using the oven's bread-rising setting, 40 minutes or so at 30 to 40C, until they have doubled in bulk.
- Start preheating the oven to 180C.
- I keep the rolls covered with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel even while they are waiting for the oven to heat up.
- When the oven has finished preheating, lower the temperature to 160C and bake the rolls for 10 minutes, then lower to 150C and bake for another 5 minutes, for a total of 15 minutes.
- Watch it as it bakes, and if it looks like the tops are changing color, cover immediately with foil.
- The baking time and temperature may differ depending on your own oven, so please watch it as it bakes, and adjust.
- This produces the best, feather-light white bread!
- It is sooo good when freshly baked!
