This recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Bread Rolls is for any domestic bread maker.
I love using peppers for cooking, the yellow, orange and red ones. But, I will not use green peppers, in my opinion they are unripe. I often buy a huge bag of peppers and add them to salads or roast them. The roasted peppers are kept in a jar with olive oil and fresh rosemary, so if you have any left over from this recipe, you can do the same. I have a Breville Ikon bread maker and use it as often as possible to make different breads and rolls. More and more often I use the dough setting as it saves me the kneading time. Kneading is not my favourite past time at all! And, with the constant temperature, the proving is controlled. I do not need to keep on checking to see when my dough has doubled in size.
These might not look like the prettiest rolls you have ever seen. But they sure are tasty. The photograph in this blog post does not do them justice at all. And I know we eat with our eyes first!
