🥖 Quick Rolls from the Thermomix: crispy outside, soft inside

There is something almost magical when the smell of freshly baked bread wafts from the oven. This aroma fills the kitchen and gives you the feeling that everything gets a little bit better 😊. But let's be honest: Often we do not bake bread at home because we think it is complicated, time-consuming, or requires a lot of experience.

The good news: These quick rolls from the Thermomix take away all those fears. They are simple, made from few basic ingredients, and require no long proofing times. In just over an hour, warm, crispy, and really good rolls are on the table.

The best thing about this recipe: It is very forgiving. You don't have to be a baker or measure humidity. The Thermomix does the work, the oven takes care of the finish. A recipe you try once and then keep forever. With us, they come with soups, spontaneous dinners, or just with some butter… and they are always gone immediately 🥰.

Equipment and preparation

Have everything ready before starting to work relaxed 🧑‍🍳. Nothing more is needed.

You need: Thermomix (any model), baking tray, baking paper, sharp knife, and a spray bottle with water.

Preparation: Weigh ingredients and prepare the tray. Lightly flour the work surface.

Detailed step-by-step instructions

1. Put water, salt, and fresh yeast into the mixing bowl. Heat 2 minutes / 40 °C / speed 3. This step activates the yeast and ensures good volume.

3. Place dough on the lightly floured work surface, divide into 9 equal pieces, and shape into tight balls.

4. Put rolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Score each with a sharp knife.

5. Let the rolls rest for about 20 minutes. They don't have to rise much, just relax.

6. Preheat oven: 200 °C fan or 225 °C top/bottom heat. Slide an empty tray into the bottom of the oven.

7. Pour 200 ml hot water onto the lower tray to create steam. Spray rolls with water and bake golden brown for 20–30 minutes.
