If you want to take your bread game up a notch, consider trying these rosetta bread rolls, which have a beautiful floral shape. These bread rolls are also unique because they use Manitoba flour, a type of flour made with wheat from the Canadian province of Manitoba and has a high protein content.
To make these delicious bread rolls, you first make a dough with water, yeast, sugar, flour, salt, and oil. Then, you allow it to double in size before shaping it into rolls, allowing them to rise again, and baking them in the oven. The resulting rolls are great served with a special dinner or even to enjoy for breakfast with deli meats, cheeses, or jam.
What are Rosetta Bread Rolls?
These rosetta bread rolls are dinner rolls that have a rose shape to them along with a crusty exterior and fluffy interior. They commonly use a strong bread flour, which gives them a denser texture than other types of rolls.
Pro Tips
- If you can’t find Manitoba flour where you live, you could replace it with another type of strong bread flour.
- Use water that is between 100 F to 110 F (37.7 C to 43.3) which will be hot enough to activate the yeast but won’t be so hot that it will kill it.
- Knead the dough until it is very stretchy and elastic, which will ensure that the rolls are tender and fluffy.
- You will be able to tell that the rolls are sufficiently baked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the buns reads around 200 F (93.3 C).
