Breadmaker Softies Recipe – or Bread Rolls, Baps, Burger Buns, Morning Rolls – Whatever you call them.

I think there are very few people who don’t like fresh bread at any time.

I think it’s why the French bread sticks are so popular in shops, as they seem to be baked fresh for your visit.   I kept meaning to add these to the website, but just never got round to photographing ours as they tend to be eaten as soon as they come out of the oven.

I know some of you will be wondering how you make softies or buns in a breadmaker, but it’s easy enough as the breadmaker does almost all the work.

All you have to do is shift the dough from breadmaker to baking tray and then finally the oven.

Prep time
3 hours
Cook time

Total time
3 hours 15 mins
 
Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 6 - 12
Ingredients
  • 320ml Water
  • 2 teaspoons Caster Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 25g Fat - Rapeseed or Olive Oil
  • 550g Strong Bread Flour
  • 1.75 teaspoons Breadmaker Yeast
Instructions
  1. Using a breadmaker, you are going to choose the dough setting which normally takes a couple of hours. If you use a pizza dough setting, you will have to do two proves, not the one used for this recipe.
  2. Add the water in first to the bowl. Then add the oil and layer the flour on the top, so that it covers all the water completely.
  3. I add the salt and sugar to one side of the bowl so that it is kept dry on top of the flour.
  4. Add the yeast, again, making sure to keep it dry at this stage by adding it to the top of the flour, but away from the sugar and salt.
  5. Leave your dough until it has finished its setting and simply shape into balls on a greased tin. I'm never precise with this, so my softies come out all shapes and sizes which is fine for us. I use a little flour to coat my hands as the dough is often very sticky otherwise. Leave your dough to prove on the greased tin, until it has at least doubled in size. I tend to either use cake release spray or the one cal oil sprays to grease my baking trays.
  6. Simply bake in an oven around 200C for approximately 15 minutes. Keep a check on your softies and if you think they are cooked earlier, simply insert a skewer into the side of one to see if it comes out clean.
  7. Ours never seem to go cold before they are used. This size of batch makes about 6 - 8 large softies, or up to 12 small ones.

    Hi! I’ll be trying these over e weekend and I have a question.
    We are not early risers in this house, so I’m wondering if the dough can be prepared and the rolls formed the night before then put in the oven while preparing g the rest of breakfast.

    After you put the dough on baking tray, how long do you let them rise for?
    Also do you use egg or milk to brush on top of rolls.
    Thanks

      Hi Margaret, I tend not to go by a strict time, and check them every ten minutes to see if they’ve risen enough. I find the heat of a kitchen can vary the times, so it’s hard to be precise. After your first try, you’d have a better idea of how they work for you.

      You can use egg or milk to brush the tops. I rarely do that, but many people will.

    Please, please can you give the recipe for these without a breadmaker & just by hand or with an electric mixer with dough hooks
    I live in Greece & long for soft floury rolls

      Hi Linda, I’ve never made these by hand, although I suspect the ingredients, combined with any bread recipe method with a double prove would work fine for a lighter fluffier roll.

      Making your own rolls gets addictive, doesn’t it, especially when they taste so much better.

    Hi, I’m not Scots but lived in Montrose for about 6 years…..these turned out just like the softies we’d get fresh from the bakers at the weekend. Nice recipe.

    Hello Scottish Mum
    I love making bread but am new to it. Your recipe is for a bread maker which I don’t own, can these soft rolls be made the old fashioned way and if so how do you prove them?

    Afternoon Scottish mum,

    I have just tried your morning rolls and they were delicious, but can you please tell me, I used just one packet of instant yeast, should I have used two? Yes they did rise but maybe not as much as I thought they would.

    Hello from Vancouver, Canada!
    I am writing a novel that takes place in Stirling, Scotland. I have my lead male character preparing Baps before opening up for the day. I just had a question. Can the dough be prepared the night before? And then put in the oven for baking in the morning so they are served fresh? Would this have any negative affect on them?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. I will happily link to your page when I get the ever-evasive contract 🙂

    Have a great day!

    Thanks

      I have the panasonic at the moment. I’ve had a couple of other brands but came back to my old Panasonic. Love it.
