Sandwiches,Savoury

A delicious soft bread roll, with a hint of crust, torn from the center and smothered with salted butter… the most honest and pure bliss one can experience.

Use this roll to scoop up sauces, dip into soup, side to a leafy salad, or just as is, with butter of course. If you feel motivated further, try these flavoured butters.

The recipe is straight forward, simple and easy. The total rest period is of 3 hours – which is fairly do-able, even for me! Like for all breads, timing is crucial – if you want homemade bread, you just gotta do this!

Enjoy!
