About our beer bread rolls recipe

These beer bread buns have a lovely, malty flavour, delicious served with a ploughman's lunch!

We'd recommend using a pale ale or beer such as Guinness in the recipe, and make sure you save yourself some for a treat whilst baking!

If you're a fan of beer in bread, give our beer and cheese soda bread a try.

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the sunflower oil followed by the yeast.

    2. Step 2

      Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture, add the beer and treacle and mix together until a soft dough starts to form (add a little water if needed – you want a soft but not too sticky dough).

    3. Step 3

      Turn the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).

    4. Step 4

      Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape into round rolls. Place on a lightly oiled baking tray.

    5. Step 5

      Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size then remove the cling film.

    6. Step 6

      Pre-heat your oven to 220°C (fan 200°C, gas mark 7).

    7. Step 7

      Place the rolls in the centre of the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6) and bake for a further 10 minutes until the rolls have risen, are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath.

    These rolls are really easy to make. I used a mixer with a dough attachment and just put everything in and mixed on low setting for 10 min. The only minor adjustment to recipe was that I used 330ml pale ale and had to add extra bread flour to make it less sticky. The rolls double in size during steam oven proving. They have a lovely crust on and shine on them from two bursts of steam during baking. They taste fabulously and have a nice soft texture. I would describe them as baps.
