No Knead Rolls

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 7th of January 2022 

Bread rolls can be easy to make and next to no time to prepare with this easy method that requires no kneading.  Imagine what you could have in the roll!  Anything you like.  You just spend 5 minutes the night before preparing it and 10 -12 minutes in the morning baking it.  

Makes 4 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1
  • 1

Method 

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Add a bit more flour if you need to, but no more than an extra 1/8 of a cup.  You have to think about how it will hold its shape in the morning when you shape the rolls.
  2. Cover the bowl and leave to rise for 12 hours overnight.  
  3. In the morning, you will see it has risen. Preheat the oven for about 15 -20 minutes, or until it reaches 220C.   Make sure the oven is very hot before baking the rolls.
  4. Use a spatula to scrap out the sticky dough. 
  5. Shape, using some flour and a dough scraper.  You may need to use some more flour to help it shape and hold its shape.  Remember, if it is too runny it will splodge instead of holding its shape. 
  6. Place the rolls on a greased backing try and leave to rest for 20 minutes.  This allows the dough to rise again. 
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes. 12 minutes will make them more crusty.
  8. Leave to cool on a cooling rack

Dough proofing on try before going in the oven


Results

Crusty rolls 

These were excellent and I will make them again.  The first time I made these I left them in for a little too long, which made them too dark for my liking although they were still fine to eat and very tasty.  As a result, I learned to keep an eye on them.


Soft rolls 

I left these in for only 10 minutes.  They still cooked fine inside and tasted just as great. 


I hope you decide to give this a try. If you do, please let me know how it turned out in the comments or on Twitter.  Please like, share with your friends and subscribe.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
