For my last glimpse of Spring, I like to bake something Spring-related and this is why I baked these blooming oatmeal butter flowery bread rolls...
These oatmeal butter rolls reminds me a lot of the buttermilk fantails that I have baked more than a year ago but these are the oatmeal-wholemeal-non-buttermilk version. Like what I did for my buttermilk fantails, I have placed these bread dough in small ramekins and enjoy watching these breads blooming like flowers.

Make 12
Ingredients to make oat mixture:
50g oats
150ml scalded hot milk
Ingredients to make bread dough:
oat mixture
200g bread flour
50g wholemeal four
2 tsp wheat germ
1 tbsp milk powder
1/2 tsp instant dried yeast
15g raw caster sugar (or any white caster sugar)
1/4 tsp salt
30g olive oil
100 ml water
To roll and shape these rolls, you need:
30g softened butter
15g raw caster sugar (or any white caster sugar)
Before baking, you need:
2 tbsp milk + 1 tbsp canola oil
extra butter to grease ramekins or muffin pan
To make the oat mixture, pour hot milk into oat and allow the oats to absorb the liquid for 15 mins or more. Allow mixture to cool before using it for making the bread dough.
Using a bread maker with "dough" setting or an electric mixer with a dough hook, mix bread dough ingredients together and knead into a smooth and elastic dough. Allow dough to prove for 1-2 hr or until doubled in size.
Grease 10 small ramekins or a 12-hole muffin pan with butter. Roll dough to a large squarish-rectangle, 30 cm x 40 cm. Spread butter and sprinkle sugar on rolled dough and cut into 48 pieces of 5 cm x 5 cm strips. Layer 4-5 pieces of squares with the sugar side facing upwards on top of each other. Place each stack of 5 squares into each small ramekin or stack of 4 squares into each muffin cup. Allow them to prove for another 1-2 hrs or until puffy-looking.
Brush the dough with milk+oil mixture and bake in preheated oven at 160°C fan forced for 18 mins.
Transfer bread to cool on wire rack before serving.
Happy Baking

ReplyDeleteHi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteIt is a long school holiday break over here, lots of families are taking the break, either back to hometpown or go on a holiday. I just got back from my dad's place, and am feeling a little lazy!
Your bread rolls looks so soft, I would be happy to have these with salted butter and a cup of hot black coffee!
Next time i will try to bake the bread in this way, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe, the rolls look so gorgeous
ReplyDeleteMy 1st impression after seeing your dish is they look like healthy bread pudding style, hahaha! I think everyone is busy preparing for the coming holidays, that's why is quiet. And the school still has many events going on. Next year when my girls starts 2 days of preschool, I will go jogging. My new resolution in 2014.

Hi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteMy kids' school holidays starts next week and it is a long long holiday. Some family may go for traveling and some may go back to their hometown. That why everything is slow and quite.
Love your oatmeal fantails. They are as lovely as your pervious ones. 2 thumb up to Zoe, You are translating a Chinese recipe... I love Carol's book too.

Hi Zoe, I have also been a little behind time! My domestic helper has left and I am managing housework and everything on my own now... which explains why I haven't had much time to blog as well... sigh...
ReplyDeleteHi Mich,
DeleteHope that you are ok coping without your helper. Nevertheless, I always know you as a super mum... You are always so positive and doing so much a go. No worries about blogging...I was a little stressed coping with Christmas last week but now I'm going with the flow...*wink*
Zoe
