with the help of the bread maker

I make the dough in a bread maker because I add the ingredients in the evening and can pre-select a time when the dough should be ready. Put the flour, butter, salt, sugar, and malt into the bread maker. Now add the water. I put the yeast in a dispenser in the lid. You’ll have to check how it works with your machine. In the machine, I use the pizza dough function (knead for 15 minutes, rise for 15 minutes, knead for 10 minutes, rise for 10 minutes). This takes about 45 minutes. If necessary, add the ingredients in the evening and pre-select the time. Alternatively, the dough can of course also be kneaded by hand. In this case, the dough should be given a little more time to rise. When the dough is ready, I take it out, place it on a floured work surface, and divide it into 10 equal pieces of about 93 g. I then roll these out and place them on the baking tray. If desired, the dough pieces can be topped with sesame or poppy seeds at this point. I then let the dough pieces rise in the oven for 25 minutes at around 30°C. I then remove the baking tray from the oven and let it rise in a draft-free place for another 15 minutes. During this time, I preheat the oven to 220°C (top/bottom heat) and place a heatproof container of water on the floor of the oven. At the end of the rising time, the dough pieces should have roughly doubled in size and can be cut crosswise and, if you want them to be cheese rolls, topped with cheese. The rolls are then placed in the oven for a total of around 20 minutes. It helps to spray a little water into the oven to increase the humidity. This process should be repeated after five minutes. After another five minutes, reduce the temperature to 180°C and briefly open the door to allow the steam to escape. The rolls bake in this way for the remaining 10 minutes. This recipe makes 10 rolls.
