Today I made a batch of traditional Scottish rolls :) Also known as Scotch rolls, morning rolls (because traditionally they get delivered to the shops and sold in the morning) or in the West, we call them ‘Morton’s rolls’.
You’ll have noticed if you watch my meals of the week videos on a Sunday, we have soup & rolls quite often…and these are the rolls :) Absolutely delicious with an almost chewy texture and signature sandpaper top :) Fill these with whatever you would typically have in your sandwich…or simply have them with a generous scrape of butter!

Just a wee correction :D It should be 2 teaspoons of salt, not one x

[@lisamoore6804]

I can hear your accent when I read this, lol.

[@cbarrett1965]

I made these today and they were amazing!! Thank you Tea Lady!

[@jilljohnstone9632]

Only just seen this correction, only put one in! Oh well fingers crossed 🤞

[@margaretlupo4267]

Ahhhh ok that’s why they didn’t rise 😂 flat bread here I come 😂😂😂

[@Travelalone27]

Salt kills the yeast, it won't rise if there is to much salt

[@user-ty3vb7cx9e]

Thank you for this recipe! My husband is Glaswegian, we have lived in the US for 10 years and he misses burnt rolls. I just made these for him and he was so happy! He said they are just like Mortons!

[@bartonseagrave9605]

It is undescribable the immense joy you have as a young child when your mother shouts from the kitchen, " Who's for another one".

[@johnnyboy-f6v]

My family went on caravan holidays in the early to mid '70s to places like St Andrews and Dunbar. My mum would send me to the shop in the morning for 'well-fired rolls'. They were sold on big wooden trays. Thx for this memory.

[@seanbain1965]

Edinburgh lad here and have ate them daily for most of my life.

[@LandMasters-f3z]

I spent a few years in Glasgow and got addicted to these wonderful delicious rolls

[@Isobel-el3ye]

Square sausage, butter, HP sauce on a morning roll. Heaven.

[@GrahamMo]

I could listen to this lady speak all day.

[@lornadesmarais-zo4pr]

Your buns brought back so many memories of going with my grandfather to the bakery in Glasgow every day with his dog, Chummy. I was 5 or 6 years old. They lived on Occle (?) Street and he and my Gran took us to Arran once. Unfortunately, I got terribly seasick.

[@58pame]

I come from Scottish heritage but need some traditional recipes. Thank you. I can hardly wait to try making the Morton Rolls.

[@Portygal406]

NOTHING anywhere in the world compares to morning rolls. I love to cook & bake, but have long been intimidated by the thought of baking these myself. I SO enjoyed this simple recipe/video & I intend to "slay the dragon" & attempt this recipe. Thank you!

[@weloverescuedogs2820]

Do it! Go slay that dragon!! You will be so proud of yourself! And this is the perfect first-time yeast bread recipe. It’s simple, and almost fool proof. The key is not to continue adding flour when you’re kneading. Adding too much flour will make a heavy and dry end result. When I first started baking yeast doughs, I wish someone had told me this. So many times, you see people kneading with lots of flour on the board, unless it is too wet, adding that flour isn’t necessary. Dough is better off a bit wet than adding too much flour and end up with a hockey puck 😂

[@Portygal406]

@@weloverescuedogs2820 SO appreciate the tip re flour! Funny you responded to my comment, as just today, I told myself the first day this ungodly heat is over - I'm making morning rolls... Thanks!

[@Portygal406]

@@weloverescuedogs2820 DID IT!!....wonderful result! Love your moniker - if I lived near you, we'd be pals 🙂!!...Have 2 rescued dogs & 4 kitties...

[@normanchristie4524]

I made a batch of these last week. As an exiled Glaswegian in England for many years I still miss them! Very easy to make and popped them loose into the freezer. We have had them several times already this week for lunch.

[@TCBfan62]

Did you freeze them after you had baked them?

[@linseymain254]

I could fair wolf into one of those rolls, looks delish.

[@Sweet-Sassy-studio]

My mum and Dad are from Scotland and we lived in Scotland for 15 months. I used to try it get to the co-op to get these kind of rolls. Yesterday mum asked for these rolls, today I look forward to trying making them.

[@carolbohanon7235]

It's been 7 years since I've seen the shores of Scotland and my family there. I will be attempting these rolls just to take my spirit on a wee journey through my taste buds. And then I'll probably just go ahead and buy the plane ticket to get the real thing. :)

[@ZenaHerbert]

I first tried your recipe over a year ago and it has become our favourite for yeasted rolls. Easy to make, tasty, visually impressive and they keep amazingly fresh. I make them most Saturday nights, fridge the shaped rolls and bake them Sunday morning. They are splendid! Thank you so much. 🥰

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

As Ive got older I’ve made more time for baking and cooking but can never seem to get the results I see on the instructions videos … until today !! 😳 I miss Scottish morning rolls terribly as I moved to England years ago and they don’t do them properly here , they’re all dense baps 😡… I got the ingredients and followed your instructions and timings to the letter and I now have 9 PERFECT rolls which I’m impatiently waiting to cool down to get intae them . Thank you SO much , I’ll be doing this regularly now and introducing my 2 daughters to the joys of pulling apart the rolls you want from the joined up ones . I’m aware I’m 2 years late to the party but a great recipe needs a great thank you - Thank you 🙏 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@gailsears2913]

Nothing like the smell of yeast bread cooking! Thank you!

[@MVMike62]

Cheryl!!! Thank You so much for this recipe. My wife is from Edinburgh and I've been trying for a long time and a dozen different recipes to recreate the "Baps" that she had as a little girl in Scotland. This one is finally spot on!! I think I've got a new weekly job now :-) Thanks Again

[@lynclarke6184]

Just made this dough. Halved it, put in two loaf tins. OMG. The best I’ve ever made. Think the lard gives the delicious flavour. I used my stand mixer as I only have one working hand. Thank you so much for the recipe. I’ll make it often. 😋

[@scottishbombolini7794]

This is the Holy grail of Scottish breakfast's....

[@gedhuffadine1873]

It's food does it matter if its Scottish

[@user-zt1er1uj6i]

And it's "Breakfasts" you've used a possessive apostrophe. Lots of cats. The cat's bed.

[@arberration]

You're right it certainly is mate. Aberdeenshire doesn't know what it's missing and the person with the apostrophe obsession needs to get a life.

[@austintackett8603]

@@gedhuffadine1873 yes it does

[@jasondonnelly6593]

I called them Mortons rolls, I used to work for Mortons Bakery in the Drumchapel Area of Glasgow. Your Recipe is almost exactly the same as Mortons and they look identical.

[@astronomer77]

grew up in greenock and was a van boy for aulds in the early 70,s,we always had mortens rolls in the mornngat home , the driver for mortons then was a guy called wee alec if im right it used to say temple bakery on the side of their vans,great memories,do you remember barm biscuits?

[@WhatsForTea]

Aw brilliant! Thank you :)

[@duckandflea]

I've seen another recipe for these where you ferment the dough overnight before shaping and baking, did they do that at Morton's or was it just like this?

[@Bogeyman.78]

​@@duckandflea Nope, I worked there 9yr, no doughs are left overnight to ferment 😂, they use fast acting yeast, then place the rolls in a streamer, and they would lay there till there were ready to bake, from flour to roll took 8hrs, the steam room was the secret to the rolls being crispy

[@KaeMae_]

Morton's rolls the crispy ones have big air pockets inside them. Those ones don't?

[@magicaardvark1]

Cheryl. Thanks for this recipe. Perfect for Square Sausage. Was raised in Troon, living in Ireland now. Made your Scotch Pies at the weekend. Totally brilliant, a real taste of home!

[@pamelajohnson9810]

I loves learning other cultures.May God blesses you.🙏🙏😊😉

[@roztokydcr]

Wow! I'm a Scot living abroad and really miss morning rolls. They look amazing! Am definitely tempted to try them. And it's very handy that you've also done a video on Lorne sausage.

[@mrdude2478]

I usually buy rolls from Aldi, I made these and I can never buy another roll again as after tasting these it's ruined the buying experience for me. I will made these again as it was easy and they taste amazing.I just tested two of them out with smoked bacon and egg, I'm stuffed as they were pretty filling. Thanks for making this video.

[@debramage739]

😆 when you were tapping, I thought a group of Scottish dancers had entered the room. Making these Monday downunder.

[@cartergetsitdone2815]

@WhatsForTea. It’s been over a year since I found your recipe. We no longer buy bread buns for our sandwiches as they do not stack up against this recipe. I buy 16 kg sacks of marriages strong bread flour and 2 - 3 times a week I bake these buns. Great for a bacon sarnie or any other filling to be honest. Thank you very much

[@rebeccanorton2892]

yumyum, Reminded me of my mother's rolls. The wonderful smell of bread baking.

[@brianmccabe3026]

Our lass is just away to make some now!! Thanks for a wee taste of Scotland!!

[@samanthabaiden-reid5974]

Is there anything better than fresh bread ❤️ Can't wait for another visit to Scotland 🤩 Love your food

[@suziewong5305]

i’m working and living in the middle east so missing my scottish food terribly! Your website is an absolute god send! A HUGE THANK YOU! I’m making fritters at the moment so i’m gonna try making the rolls, a roll n fritter, salt, vinegar and HP sauce! 😋

[@lynnlaw7770]

Omg!!! I followed your recipe today and they turned out FAB!!! Even my husband liked them and that's saying something x

[@ronmac9522]

I followed the recipe to the letter and a reminder to say that if you make the rolls bigger then you have to bake them longer. The recipe is perfect and they turned out delicious. I had mine with bacon and tattie scones.

[@lesleyodermatt4913]

My partner made these. He is Scottish and has been missing them. The video came up on his utube and he woke up this morning and said he is making rolls. Such lovely dough. We’re in Saskatchewan Canada and they turned out amazing

[@jodifinnegan4453]

I'd love one with butter!! These look delicious!!! Adding this to my to-do list. I can't wait to make them. Thank you Cheryl!

[@isabellaurance8610]

Great recipes, thanks Cheryl. I especially love the wee tours around Arran, one of my most favourite spots in Scotland, many happy memories.

[@janetelainetaylor4680]

We would call them a Belfast Bap were I come from Northern Ireland they r lovely xx

[@traceyhawtin6217]

I’ve made these today and they are insane!!!! Best recipe I’ve found for these by far! Thanks Cheryl. You’re a wee star!

[@rufusleaking3934]

A very big thankyou my favourite roll anytime . Down here in the north east we have poor substitutes , always bring dozens back when visited Scotland , never seem to last. so now I have no excuse , (stay safe ) 😷

[@elizabethferguson1039]

Oh I remember having those every morning when I was in Scotland,they look delicious only I can’t eat them Ihave celiac disease but will try making them for my Grandson

[@junkbandman]

Just adding a big thanks for this recipe. I've now made these a number of times and the rolls reliably come out really well. Usually use unsalted butter instead of lard (otherwise have to buy lard specially for this). Have made with other flours for variety (granary, wholemeal, khorusan, though always keeping at least 50% strong white) and again they come out consistently well every time, have not gone wrong yet.

[@TheTalkoftheStreetPodcast]

These are amazing! Living as a Scottish implant into the US for the last decade or so, I've been looking for a morning roll recipe like this. My rolls before came out quite dense and small, which were tasty enough but nothing like this. Made these today (without the rice flour as I didn't have any) and they came out wonderfully. I have a couple set aside for lunch tomorrow before my family devour them! Thanks for the recipe and the great instructional video! x

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Oh man. Can't get these where I live. One of the things I miss from home. Thanks a mill.

[@seanbain1965]

You should make them, it's easy. I live in Vietnam and make them all the time.

The rolls look lovely 😍 Greetings from Scotland. Have a great day everyone 🌻

I made these and I couldn't believe how good they turned out. The smell when they were baking was amazing.

Great tutorial, I’m definitely giving this ago!. Don’t know why, but I took a notion the other day for some Morton’s rolls!. I bought 8 at the News agents, they were done by the next morning!. Absolutely delicious!.

Thank you for baking with lard - it does make a difference in homemade breads, pie crusts, and homemade tortillas.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much 😮 💙

[@karhu100]

Didn’t think these would be so easy! And they turn out just like ma rolls fae hame… I can see this being a long and loving relationship between me and these rolls. I make a lot of stuff from the “what’s for tea” collection. This is one of the easiest I’ve done. Big fan of the minced round too.

Lovely recipe. I may try this with GF bread flour. I’ll let you know how they turn out. Anything like your will be an absolute bonus.

Hi greetings from Germany, I love Scotland and I love the scottish rolls with bacon and a fried egg :-) When I visit Scottland it is often my first go...to look where i can buy a bacon roll :-)) I try out today your recipe and it sooooooooo good. For me it is nearly 100% original. Thank you very much for sharing it. It'll not be the last time I bake it.

I made these today and am delighted with the results. They look so pretty and the crumb is something else. Served them with homemade chicken burgers and side salads - a big success! Thank you 😋

[@seawolfkills]

Made a batch of these a couple of weeks ago and the batch failed to rise properly, investigation found that the yeast failed. It was in date by a long way but still failed. Rolls still tasted great but were heavy. Made a second batch yesterday with good yeast. What a difference, much lighter with lots of air pockets. Tasted great this morning with bacon and egg. Did the kneading in a kitchenaid to make life a bit easier, although guessing how long to knead for wasnt easy. May try by hand next time. Anyway great recipe and a great video. Thanks

[@nzaud]

Just going to get my square sliced sausage made and in the fridge and these rolls made tomorrow, exciting stuff and thanks Cheryl! :) I remember the Dalziels bakery van coming around Lanark, there was a line drawing of a horse rolling on its back and below the slogan ' A good roll does satisfy'....I am that old lol !
