Semi- Home Made Bread Rollds

[Peder]

So as the title suggests i made home made bread rolls

Now i have tried many a time to make bread rolls like spar etc makes it but could never get it right, but then on sunday i decided that i wanted to make breadrolls without having to make dough so i bought the vetkoek dough at spar, i made the most amazing rolls ever! and it was cheaper than buying rolls from spar.

What is the recipe spar uses? its definitely not your run of the mill bread recipe... anyone got an idea?

Vetkoek is made with ordinary bread dough. It's just deep-fried instead of baked.

Most retailers will sell you their bread dough and whatever isn't sold will be packaged and sold as vetkoek dough...

PnP also sells the Dough, much easier than rolling and making your own
It's the Bomb

Just be careful. Monitor your electricity usage and work out how much it costs you to bake these rolls (for the entire time your oven is running) and then add the cost of the dough as well and work out how much per roll you're actually spending.

Sometimes it does look as if you're saving since you only take into account the cost of raw materials, but you don't really consider electricity as a cost nor your own time (but I'm not expecting you to add your own time as cost as you doing it for yourself anyway)

If it's still cheaper, I'd say go for it

For the extra R1 or so, it is worth having freshly baked bread.

But, in my opinion, it is better to make the dough yourself. It is pretty easy- once you have done it a few times, you wont need a recipe.

We mainly use our breadmaker to kneed various doughs and it does a pretty good job.

Nothing beats a freshly made soft pretzel covered in salt and a ice cold beer.
