Homemade Bread Rolls - Soft Bread Rolls - Baps, Barm Cakes, Bread Cakes

[@LeitmotifGallery]

Just taken these out of the oven a hour ago and they’re the best thing I’ve ever made. They are so delicious and fluffy. I only had a long tray so I made them in to 2 rows of 4 and it was great. Thanks very much for your recipe. I tried one that turned out more like a scone. So many of the recipes have just too much sugar and butter but these are just great proper soft rolls. Thank you !

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Homemade bread is quite a delight. The aroma and taste you get are unbeatable. When you add butter, you have quite a satisfying thing.

[@Keefcooks]

Ooh yeah!

[@luckyducki]

people who are passionate about making productive things, cooking and baking in the present case, make my heart feel warmer.. people like you! thanks for sharing your recipes keef!

[@kitchenworker446]

Came across you in 2020 lockdown for corona virus, ran out of bread rolls and our household decided to have a BBQ so I set to and made these rolls. I did a white batch and a wholmeal batch and they were the best rolls I have ever had! My two grown up kids thought they were delicious and my husband wants me to make them again- which I will. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@charmaineerskine]

Warm bread, cold butter! Brings back childhood memories of running home from school when Mom was making bread & being so excited! Yummy! Thanks, Keef xo -Charmaine Erskine

[@Keefcooks]

Oh yeah, home baked bread!

[@ScottALanter]

I don't know which I like more....the recipe....or your look of complete satisfaction when you taste those golden beauties. Either way, it's a great recipe and it's evident that you really enjoy yourself in the kitchen, too.

[@Keefcooks]

Thanks Scott

[@WashingMachineKiller]

I made these for my uncles birthday party for burgers and everyone told me they were the best bread rolls they have ever head. Thanks!

[@Keefcooks]

Blush. But yeah, they are good!

[@Zennybo0m]

I think I just found my favorite youtube cooking channel.

[@Keefcooks]

Welcome Zenny!

[@kitchenworker446]

I made these in the first lockdown...and the second and tomorrow...in the third lockdown...I'm making them agian...they are the best...I also make them with half wholemeal flour and they are good too.

[@mariamkarjiker301]

I made this today and it came out amazing!❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and lots of love from Cape Town South Africa ❤

[@Chalky-ze6js]

I’ve just made these and they are wonderful. Really light and super tasty. Thanks for posting this video!

[@remainingembers]

Those look simple and delicious! I'm always looking for simple bread recipes, because I also get that excited about fresh rolls lol. Nothing like them.

[@alisn.7998]

What a lovely chap. I like his style!

[@Keefcooks]

He is flattered!

[@jimmyreuben6919]

nice buns Keef. got a little tip for you. if making them in winter time like it is over here at the moment, you can use the oven light only and place your dough in there to make it rise. it works a treat. cheers.

[@Keefcooks]

Sure. I do mine in the airing cupboard - where the gas boiler lives.

[@ImtiazBarrat]

Looks soft and delicious Keef! Will be trying that out tomorrow morning! As usual another great recipe! Thanks!

[@Peter_S_]

[@Keefcooks]

Enjoy!

[@PaulCareyDigitalWiz]

Spoiling us with yet another great cooking video. The only thing I do different is mix the warm water, sugar and yeast together and leave for about 10 minutes to help get the yeast active. But everyone to their own, the bread still turned out amazing! Thanks for uploading Keef.

[@Keefcooks]

Yeah, I find the active dried yeast doesn't need any cajoling to get it going.

[@amypeters9053]

Just love watching you cook/bake!! You make it so fun!!!

[@Keefcooks]

Cheers Amy

[@mrssasharose]

What time is dinner? I have one of those bread machines and its just collecting dust. But I think I will have to try out this recipe because my mouth was watering when you started to butter up that roll. Nothing beats a warm home made bread.

[@Keefcooks]

Ooh yeah

[@SpaceLordLono]

Keef, one thing I really love about your videos is how relaxing they are to watch. You have this whole Bob Ross of cooking thing going on.

[@Keefcooks]

Ummm, thanks!

[@sarahclarke1377]

Absolutely outstanding, thank you xx

[@Keefcooks]

Thanks Sarah!

[@Weekendatthecottage]

These look super delicious!

[@SusansEasyRecipes]

Fantastic recipe and a big thumbs up🥖🍞

[@Keefcooks]

Thanks Susan

[@JamieRChamberlain]

This recipe looks delightful. We will try this one out for sure. May have to make a couple batches the wife and kids will probably devour the first one lol

[@Keefcooks]

Ooh yeah!

[@carmendawnallan8871]

Txs Keefs. As Always 😊.👍 Will Definitely try,This !!

[@csachevauxsansabri2612]

Looks lovely, I wonder cud you try painting a bid of egg yolk on it. When I was little I used to get the bread early in morning from the back of the bakery and I saw them do it. What do you think?

[@Keefcooks]

I generally do glaze pies and things with beaten egg, but for this one I wanted a really soft finish, not anything that might bake crispy.

[@csachevauxsansabri2612]

Yes i understand.But juste a light crunch.

[@maria50337]

Thanks Keef :-). Bread is something I'm good at, my fav being a soft milkloaf. Looked like you had a fantastic crumb on that bread, awesome :-).

[@Keefcooks]

It was superb!

[@SaafiraBintAdam]

Heyyy You're great... Thank u for sharing x

[@hayleymorris6294]

they look amazing, Keef! !!!!!! xx

[@ardynm]

To stop dough sticking to your counter, spread out some parchment paper (or use a silicone mat or a cutting board) and flour the surface. you can spread flour on the counter directly but that involves more cleanup.

[@Keefcooks]

I didn't want to oil or flour the worktop because it would affect the composition of the dough. I only got a little bit of sticking when I was making up the rolls, and I can live with that.

[@billy4072]

I feel your joy ;-) nice one.

[@golfboy7438]

Hi Keith I made these today and whilst nice mine have turned out a little bit spongy,any idea why this has happened,my dough was quite wet so added more flour,could this be why?

[@Keefcooks]

Umm, dunno. They are meant to be spongy...

[@golfboy7438]

KeefCooks Spongy rolls hmmmm😁

[@pamg8241]

thank you i will be making it thanks god bless

[@Keefcooks]

Good luck!

[@ladiesdays]

Mr. Keef! You turned into a bread pirate for a second! Looks delicious.

[@Keefcooks]

Ahaaar!

[@andrewcullen8635]

When I was younger I would get home from work, Put the Oven on Full, Wash hands and a big Potato, Put Potato in Oven and set timer. Put Kettle on, Then I made my own bread for my bread rolls to take to work the following day. I had it down to an art. Four, Dried Yeast and Salt in a bowl and quick mix, Jug with 1/3 Pint of boiling water topped up with 2/3 Pint Cold water from tap. (Correct Temp). Pour Sunflower or Vegetable oil in to just cover the top as it floats. This was then mixed, kneaded then put to raise on top of the cooker, Make cup of coffee, After 30 minutes knock back the dough, Shape and put on a baking tray and put back on top of Cooker and cover with Tea Towel. When the Potato was cooked it came out and the bread went in. (Set Timer) I would put what I wanted on the Potato and eat it and when the timer went off I would turn the Oven off and open the Oven Door half way. The bread stayed in there until next morning. It was normal for me to work 6 days a week and on the 7th I cooked proper meals, Being single about once a month I would invite the neighbour over and cook a Full Roast Meal.

[@Keefcooks]

Quite a routine!

[@ChristinaVVM]

Can you use regular flour or does it have to be a special bread flour?

[@Keefcooks]

Bread flour has more gluten in it so you get a better rise and texture. Regular flour wouldn't really work.

[@ChristinaVVM]

KeefCooks - thank you!

[@thetezz0001]

you are a legend among men

[@Keefcooks]

I could be!

[@RetroGeet]

What's your local term for those kind of rolls Keef? Down here in Coventry they're called "batches".

[@maria50337]

In Leeds where I live they're called 'breadcakes'. Not sure why, cakes != bread. In Kent where I'm from they're called 'rolls' or 'buns'.

[@MikeSki.]

I call them delicious!

[@Keefcooks]

Yes. I'm in Leeds too, and this baffles me.

[@Keefcooks]

I can understand 'batch' - you make a batch of these rolls, rather than treating each one individually...

[@deanswetman3887]

Nice baps Keef!

[@Keefcooks]

Blush.

[@stevemurray7862]

You use strong white bread flour. I am not sure what that is in Australia. Will just plain white flour be OK?

[@Keefcooks]

Strong flour, or bread flour, has a higher gluten content that gives the bread its chewy texture. If you use ordinary flour it will likely have a more crumby, cakey texture. I really wouldn't recommend regular flour for this - but I'm sure you'll be able to get bread flour fairly easily in Australia. Good luck!

[@stevemurray7862]

KeefCooks thank you I will look.

[@gtlkthfc6741]

I love my breadmaker. Every time I do hand kneading my wrist hurts. I use dough cycle and bake bread in the oven. Breadmaker is such a great tool when you don't have a standing mixer.

[@Keefcooks]

Yeah, I don't have anything against breadmakers, other than the idea some people have that you have to have one to make bread!

[@MINERAL-115]

Keef, do you have a PO Box? I'd like to send you a new dough knife, it'll make bringing up dough from surfaces and cutting it up considerably easier.

[@Keefcooks]

I have a dough scraper Craig - I just keep forgetting to use it!

[@infringinator]

craig you need a puppy to look after if the best you can come up with is buying some dude online a dough scraper :)

[@MillerFourFingers]

I accidentally found you a few days ago. It was a suggestion from KZbin. I've learned some things. First, I think I'd like Brit Food. (Texas is NOT a hotbed of British cooking) (Grins) Second, you enjoy your own cooking as much as I enjoy my own. Third, You seem to like cooking for your wife as much as I enjoy cooking for mine. Anyway, also thanks for doing closed captions, I like to read my TV because I have a noisy job, I'm a butcher. Have a nice "whatever time of day it happens to be where you are".

[@Keefcooks]

Thanks Miller, glad you like it!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Keef mate, bloody lovely job. They looked the cats pj's mate. I can use this as a base and add sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Nice one. Cheers Moose.

[@Keefcooks]

Yep - I wanted to do some seedy ones, but not for this video.

[@DarrenTS13]

Those rolls would be perfect for square sausage!

[@Keefcooks]

Yep!

[@thetezz0001]

can you try a beef rouladen pleas or any roulanden

[@Keefcooks]

Ah, never heard of this, but it looks good. It's on my list, don't know when I'll get to it though.

[@JBurmundo]

Any chance of some gluten free bread recipes Keef?

[@Keefcooks]

Not something I've ever investigated, but I'll have a think...

[@marky437]

lovely jubbly will defo try this :D

[@Keefcooks]

Good luck Mark!

[@marky437]

Did you every do a recipe for Lime Pickle? I love lime pickle tried it once and it was foul lol Wondering if you have had any success with it?

[@Keefcooks]

Haha - it's still on my list Mark (you last requested it on 29th August last year) - I'll try to get it done this year!

[@marky437]

KeefCooks lol You have a better memory than I do, I totally forgot I requested it :-S love the channel by the way

[@Keefcooks]

LOL - not my memory - I have a spreadsheet!

[@brendarigdon1857]

Did you know that yeast was called barm by bakers and traded from the local beer makers long before it was dried and made stable for long term use.

[@Keefcooks]

No I didn't - hence 'barm cakes'!

[@brendarigdon1857]

Barm cakes buttered with ham and sliced tomatoes with a nice cup of tea was a lunch treat every Friday if I had the day off work.

[@infringinator]

if you have a convection oven you don't have to turn the pan around for 5ish minutes. The fan in the oven circulates the heat evenly. Also for 9 cuts I don't see why you needed to measure them by weight.

[@Keefcooks]

LOL - I think I know my oven better than you. I know convection is supposed to cook evenly, but this one doesn't. I weighed them because I wanted them all the same. You don't have to.

[@ral2113]

I'm about to try this! Pray for me! 😂😂

[@ral2113]

I did it! Doubled the recipe because I'm making it for a family event. All went well and they've been a great hit!

[@VT_Maid]

You are just so adorable!

[@Keefcooks]

Blush!

[@Ikingy71]

Called Batches in Coventry.

[@Keefcooks]

Becuase you bake a batch of them - yep!

[@erniegee3969]

Why do you turn them around in the oven?

[@Keefcooks]

So they get browned evenly (I know convection ovens are supposed to do this without turning, but mine doesn't ).

[@erniegee3969]

Thanks for getting back to me. The buns came out great 👍

[@stevekiley6121]

With a breadmaker, you can put in the ingredients in the evening, and awake to the smell of baking bread. I still like the oven method though.

[@haydencremer6676]

Keef you are the love of my life. Would you do me the honor of a shout-out

[@Keefcooks]

LOL - no problem

[@Keefcooks]

Hey Hayden - I did your shoutout on this video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/mISQZ4Kkm7KDbs0 Did you see it?

[@Ashuraizumi99]

self made bread is always better then the store kind. the thing you use to mop the butter really is not the best thing to use a brush or a cloth mop would be better for cooking.

[@Keefcooks]

LOL - the silicon pastry brush is the best one I've had - it's never lost a bristle, and if it did it's bright blue so you can see it!

[@infringinator]

yo silicon melts around 500 degrees he's good.

[@hazarddoom]

Boss man Keef, I sent you that message, you to busy with the long eggs for a reply or something? maaaaan this is why they say never meet your heros!

[@Keefcooks]

Dunno mate - haven't seen a message from you on KZbin - some other platform?

[@hazarddoom]

I sent you it here bud, it was quite a while ago now mind, still wanna do a video on you keef, need to get my arse into gear but god I still want to do one

[@Keefcooks]

Right, found half the conversation - check your YT PMs

[@hazarddoom]

KZbin pms are not fun, found it though will be intouch soon!
