Weekend Granary Rolls
Recipe
My husband likes to make these at the weekend. He can go from a standing start to having the dough rising in the oven, in just 10 minutes! After that, he takes the dog for a walk, and bakes them once he gets home. We then have freshly-baked bread rolls for lunch!

9. Leave it to rise in the warm oven for 1-2 hours, allowing it to rise.

11. Once the rolls are brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.
