Buns from the day before taste freshly baked almost like fresh from the baker. Most people use the oven for this. Here you can find out why this is not a good idea and how rolls become particularly crispy when they are baked.
Hmm, yummy, buns for breakfast! Fresh from the bakery, rolls, rolls, rolls, or Schrippen taste particularly good – but the rolls from the day before become totally crispy again when they are baked.
Most people turn on the oven to bake up buns from the day before. This takes an unnecessarily long time and also uses a lot of energy that you can easily save: if you bake rolls on the toaster instead of using the oven, you need 80 percent less energy.
Fast and energy-saving: Bake rolls with the toaster
In view of the climate crisis and the ever-increasing costs of energy and food, saving electricity makes sense, even on a small scale. Therefore, bake rolls with the toaster and no longer in the oven. To do this, simply place the rolls on the grid attachment of the toaster and bake on both sides. How long the rolls need until they are nice and crispy again depends on the toaster, the heat, and the distance between the rolls and the heating wires.
Only if you want to bake a large number of rolls is the oven the better choice in terms of energy.
Extra tip: If you moisten the rolls with a little water before baking, they will be extra crispy.
Bake buns in the pan?
Another alternative that also saves electricity, time, and money: you can easily bake rolls in a pan on the stove. Slightly moisten the rolls, place in a pan with a lid, and bake on high for about one to two minutes. Turn over and heat again for a minute or two.
Bake frozen buns
It is best to let frozen rolls thaw before you bake them in the toaster. If you don’t have time to do this in the morning, you can cut the buns in half and place the two halves side by side on the bun warmer of your toaster.
Caution: If you put frozen buns directly on the toaster, they will be crispy on the outside but remain ice cold on the inside. Tip: Cut the buns open before freezing.
Save hard buns
Even if rolls have become hard, they are not necessarily a case for the bin. Try this: Wrap the hard buns in a damp tea towel for about five minutes. You can then bake them either in the pan or on the toaster. In a pinch, you can turn rock-hard rolls into breadcrumbs. Then the following applies: the harder, the better.
