Print Recipe

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Large baking tray 30x40cm
  • silicone mat or baking paper

Ingredients
  

  • 120 g Greek yoghurt
  • 120 ml warm water
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 60 g unsalted butter softened to room temperature and cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 150 g strong white flour
  • 250 g malted grain flour

topping

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water
  • 2 tbsp jumbo oats

Instructions
 

Dough

  • Whisk the yogurt and warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar together in the bowl of the stand mixer. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining sugar, egg, butter, salt, and 1 scoop flour.
    With a dough hook or paddle attachment, mix/beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If the dough seems too wet to a point where kneading would be impossible, beat in more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a workable dough, similar to the photos above. Dough should be soft and a little sticky, but still manageable to knead with lightly floured hands.
  • Knead the dough: Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 3 full minutes

Rise

  • Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with a linen cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size.
  • Line the baking tray with a silicone mat or baking paper.
  • Shape the rolls: When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Form into a long roll. Cut the dough in 3 and divide each piece into 4 pieces making 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, Place on the baking tray and press into an oval.
  • Mix an egg with 1 tso water and brush over the surface. Sprinkle the oats over the 12 rolls.
  • Cover the rolls with clean linen cloth Allow to rise for about 1 hour.

Baking

  • Adjust oven rack to a lower position and preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. (It’s best to bake the rolls towards the bottom of the oven so the tops don’t burn.)
  • Bake the rolls: Bake for 21 minutes or until golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through.
    Remove from the oven and allow rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
