These simply are the nicest rolls. So nice I don't even mind that they had to be made from scratch (not being the best cook..). Spelt flour doesn't seem to affect in the way ordinary flour does to my system and being organic as well is perfect. They will be made again and again and with pleasure.

I just made these using my bread machine pan as a mixing bowl for steps 1 to 4 and then put it in the machine on the dough cycle. Next I prepared the rolls, let them rise and baked them. Absolutely perfection. The husband is going to be so pleased he has not had a decent bread roll in years due to being low tolerance to gluten. He can handle white spelt though.

Made these buns today and they are delicious, the only thing different is that I added the yeast to 50ml of tepid water as i believe if you add yeast and salt together it kills the yeast. Then changed the milk to 250ml. Other than that the recipe was spot on.

You must need the mixture well, but otherwise the best bread roll recipe I have tried

Rolls came out very dense, not great for burgers. Dough didn't rise very well as the it was quite a dry/dense mix.
