There are many times I will make rolls instead of a loaf of bread because basically they are more versatile and easy to freeze. With just the two of us a loaf is more than we need since we very seldom eat sandwiches. When you make rolls you don't have to make them all the same you can stuff some of them with herbs, onions, olives or even something sweet like a cinnamon and sugar mixture. So with just one recipe I can make hamburger buns, a few sweet rolls for breakfast and the rest of the rolls for eating with our soup at lunch.
It's always been a question how big should I make them or how much should a roll weigh? Since this is whole grain it can fill you up and the rolls can be smaller and still satisfy your hunger. This is just a guideline to give you an idea on the weights of different types of rolls.
Basic weights of rolls
12" Hoagie/sandwich roll: 227g
6" - 7" Hoagie/sandwich roll: 113g
Burger & hot dog buns: 75g -92g
Medium dinner roll: 70g
Small soft dinner roll: 48g

Fun Shape For Easter
This couldn't be easier, make a simple round roll and with your scissors at an angle clip the ears. You can add raisin eyes and after they bake use rosemary for the whiskers. They are cute in the bread basket on the table for a special dinner with family.
These should weigh between 70g to 48g for a smaller roll.

Twisted Bunny Rolls Take your dough and make a long snake about 10 inches then fold it in half and twist the two ends together. Make a small round ball and place it into the loop and there you have it. It doesn't have to be perfect you are going to eat it, so let the kids have fun and make bunnies for the Easter Dinner they will taste good no matter what they look like. I would make these weigh around 75g not to much larger because you want to have room for everything else on the table. |
