Yeast Buns with Rosemary, Sun Dried Tomato, Caramelized Onion & Mushrooms

While smoking this fine Tuscan Chicken for Sunday dinner, I tossed in 3 Hot Italian sausages about half way through to have some smoked sausages on Monday night.  I forgot we didn’t have any buns and were out of time this morning some SD or YW ones.

 

Lucy whipped a quick semi enriched dough that didn’t have any eggs in it that looked like this. 130 g each LaFama AP and KA bread flour, 32 g of butter, 184 g of water, 10 g of NFDMP, (non fat dry milk powder),  and 5 g each of instant yeast, sugar and salt.

 

This is our fairly standard, quick bun recipe.  We do 10 minutes of slap and folds then 2 more sets of 10 slaps each on 15 minute intervals and then do 3 sets of stretch and folds on 10 minute intervals.

 

Since we were making the buns for smokes Italian sausages we decided to make the buns more Italian by adding 1 tsp each of fresh rosemary and sun dried tomato with some left over caramelized onions and mushrooms – about a heaping tablespoons worth.

 

The add ins went in at the start of the first set of stretch and folds and after the 2nd set 15 minutes later we let the dough do a ferment of 30 minutes undisturbed.  We pre-shaped  3 sausage bums and 2 hamburger buns and then 5 minutes later did the final shaping – 100 g each as it turned out.

 

30 minutes later, we fired up the Mini Oven to 425 F - convection.  Once the Mini hit temperature we egg washed the buns and then 5 minutes later we washed them again before they went in the heat.  After 7 minutes we rotated the buns and turned the oven down to 400 F - convection and baked for 4 more minutes.  We then rotated the buns again and turned the oven down to 350 F baking the buns for 3 minutes with another rotation and 3 more minutes of heat - 17 minutes total.

 

They puffed and browned up great and we washed them in butter when they came out of oven to keep the crust soft.  They looked and smelled delicious and we can’t wait to have some sausages for dinner.  Will have to wait on a crumb shot but now we need to make some pickled onions, cucumber and peppers for a condiment.

These look awesome DA and Lucy.  Great shine on these and beautiful soft crumb.  I have been pondering adding some mushrooms to a loaf but have not done it yet.  You will have to tell me how it tastes in these rolls.  I'm mixing up some boring rolls by comparison that I will bake tomorrow.  Spent all day in the garden setting up my home built raised veggie garden and didn't have the strength to cook my turkey yesterday.  It's smoking away now as I write this and I just applied a maple balsamic glaze for good measure.

Enjoy that smoked  beer can chicken and sausages.

Happy Baking and Barbequing!

with Italian add ins.  Tastes like a nice focaccia.  Made for some fine smoked sausage for last might's dinner.  My wife loved the buns since she isn't all that fond of SD   Everything in the garden is dead and burnt except for the cherry tomatoes and they are on their last leg with birds discovering them and 112 F heat yesterday.  The raised veggie beds sound nice too.  Hope the turkey turned out well and glad you liked the buns.

Happy baking Ian

These rolls look so soft, but with substance enough to grab and hold a smoked sausage. And with add-ins, no complaints if there's roll left at the end of the sausage!

Enjoy!

I'm drooling over the buns and the chicken! I think this is one of the few times I've seen you use commercial yeast in a "quick" recipe...

way better than any you could buy at the store or bakery.  I prefer SD but, in a pinch, fresh buns are better any way you can make them at home.  You forget how good yeast breads are if you don't have then for a while :-)

Glad you liked the buns and happy baking
