Method
Step 1
Put the dough ingredients into the bread maker baking pan in the order specified for your particular model (see manufacturer’s handbook).
Step 2
Set to the dough program and press start.
Step 3
Remove the dough from the machine and roll into a rectangle approximately 30x20 cm. Cut the dough lengthways to give four strips 5 cm wide.
Step 4
Divide each strip into 3 to make little rectangles of dough 10x5 cm. Cut the remaining three strips in the same way to give 12 equally sized rectangles.
Step 5
Brush each rectangle of dough with melted butter and fold in half. Place the rolls onto greased baking sheets so that each overlaps slightly with the one next to it.
Step 6
Cover with a tea towel and leave to prove until double in size. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6).
Step 7
Glaze the rolls with more melted butter and bake in for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped underneath. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
