Chicken in a Bread Roll

Instructions

Step 1

Start by adding the bread flour, buttermilk, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and egg yolk into your bread machine. Use the Dough setting to mix everything until it just comes together and looks moist. When the machine pauses, pour in the oil and let it finish the rest of the cycle.

Step 2

While the dough is working, grease a muffin tin or a baking sheet and set it aside. Once the dough is ready, take it out and give it a good punch down to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a smooth ball. Place the rolls in the muffin cups or spaced out on your baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching.

Step 3

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise somewhere warm until they’ve doubled in size, which should take about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

When the rolls have puffed up nicely, pop them into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. As soon as they’re out of the oven, rub the tops with a bit of butter to keep the crust soft. Let them cool just enough to handle, then enjoy them warm!

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are great served warm with butter or honey. They also work well as sandwich buns or alongside soups and stews. For a special touch, try brushing them with garlic butter after baking.

Storage Tips

Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them fresh longer, freeze the rolls in a sealed bag and thaw at room temperature before reheating. Warm them in the oven or microwave for best results.
