Got it — you’re asking for a detailed recipe + FAQs for making Blender Bread Rolls 🥖 (soft rolls made by blending the wet ingredients for an easy, fluffy dough). Here’s a full breakdown:
🥖 Blender Bread Rolls Recipe
Ingredients (makes ~12 rolls)
- 3 ½ cups (420g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour, for chewier rolls)
- 2 ¼ tsp (7g) instant yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup (50g) sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 extra egg yolk (optional, for richer dough)
- 1 tbsp oil or melted butter (for greasing)
For topping (optional):
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash, for shine)
- Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or garlic butter
🥣 Instructions
- Blend wet ingredients
- In a blender, add warm milk, melted butter, egg, and sugar. Blend until smooth (about 20–30 sec).
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
- Form the dough
- Pour the blended mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until dough comes together.
- Knead on a floured surface (or in a stand mixer with dough hook) for 8–10 min until smooth and elastic.
- First rise
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Shape the rolls
- Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and shape into balls.
- Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, spaced slightly apart.
- Second rise
- Cover loosely and let rise again for 30–40 min until puffy.
- Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with egg wash.
- Bake for 15–18 min until golden brown.
- Cool slightly & serve
- Brush with melted butter if you want extra softness. Serve warm.
❓ Blender Bread Rolls FAQs
1. Why use a blender?
Blending the wet ingredients makes the dough smoother, lighter, and quicker to combine — less hand mixing required. It also evenly distributes sugar, fat, and eggs for softer rolls.
2. Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes! Just dissolve active dry yeast in the warm milk (with 1 tsp sugar) for 5–10 minutes until foamy before blending.
3. My rolls are dense — what went wrong?
- Dough wasn’t kneaded enough (needs elasticity).
- Liquid was too hot and killed the yeast.
- Not enough rising time.
4. Can I make them ahead?
Yes! After shaping into balls, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake the next day after letting them come to room temp and puff up.
5. Can I make them without eggs?
Yes — replace egg with 3 tbsp yogurt or applesauce for moisture. Rolls will be slightly less rich.
6. How to store?
- Room temp: 2–3 days in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven.
7. Variations?
- Garlic butter rolls: Brush with garlic-parsley butter after baking.
- Sweet rolls: Add ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips.
- Whole wheat: Replace up to 50% flour with whole wheat flour.
