Kabocha Squash Twisted Bread Rolls
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
A bakery near where I used to live, sold kabocha squash bread. I used to love the simple sweetness and bright color. I felt nostalgic about it and wanted to have it again, so I borrowed ideas from several places to come up with this similar recipe. It's been a big success!
Adjust the amount of water added depending on how watery the kabocha squash you use is.
Use whatever kabocha squash paste you like. I made mine like this: I added 40g of sugar to 150 g of microwaved and cooked kabocha squash, and microwaved the mixture again to evaporate some of the moisture. Recipe by Kechauru recipe

- 1
Combine the milk and egg, and add enough cold water to make it 150 ml in total. Put it in a bread machine along with the rest of the dough ingredients and start the "dough" course. Let the machine complete the 1st rising.
- 2
Take the dough out and divide into 2 pieces. Round off each piece, cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel, and rest for 15 minutes or so.
- 3
Roll out the dough to about a 20x30cm rectancle. Spread half the kabocha squash paste thinly and evenly on top.
- 4
Fold the dough into thirds.
- 5
Roll out with a rolling pin to blend the dough and paste together.
- 6
Cut into 5 pieces.
- 7
Make cuts in the dough with a pastry scraper or similar as shown.
- 8
Pinch the ends while stretching and twisting the dough.
- 9
Form a ring or knot the dough to form it.
- 10
Form the other half of the dough quickly in the same way.
- 11
Place the formed rolls on a kitchen parchment paper lined baking tray, and leave to rise (2nd rising) until the dough has doubled in volume, for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- 12
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds if you have them, and bake in a 190°C oven for 15 minutes.
- 13
These ones were brushed with an egg wash before baking.
- 14
This one was formed into a knot. It doesn't look as nice as the ring shaped rolls, but it does puff up better.
- 15
Variation: Roll up the dough after Step 3, cut into 3cm wide pieces, and brush the cut sides with egg yolk before baking. It won't have layers, but it's easy and delicious!

Gyoza Bread Rolls
I had a lot of frozen gyoza dumplings. And I thought, there are gyoza hot dogs, so why not gyoza bread rolls? So I made these.If you make the folds as big as possible, the rolls will look more gyoza-like. Recipe by Akoppa
Cute Braided Bread Rolls
These are easy to shape so I usually pack these in my bento lunchbox. I fill the rolls with chocolate, stewed apples, leftover kinpira burdock stir-fry, or patties. You won't be able to tell they are made with leftovers.Sprinkle with granulated sugar instead of powdered cheese if you're adding sweet fillings.I use low-fat milk, but you can use any kind of milk.Add the butter after kneading the mixture of the ingredients in your bread machine and the dough starts to come together. The dough will become smoother (add the butter 8 to 10 minutes after you start kneading). Recipe by putimiko
Fluffy Bread Rolls
I'm proud to present this recipe! I make these rolls all the time.I usually use instant yeast for this.- Keep your eye on the bread and adjust the time and temperature according to your oven.- Halve the amount of ingredients when making half the amount.The chocolate variation is our family's standard bread. It's even more delicious to eat on the day after, when the chocolate has hardened again! Recipe by yukanosuke
Chocolate Bread Rolls
Thinking back to the bread sold at my elementary school snack shop, besides the apple bread, there was a long chocolate bread. Its chewy texture and the chocolate inside really won my heart. Although I can't replicate the exact texture, I decided to make a similar chocolate bread roll to relive that memory.Feel free to visit my blog at http://lemon-banana.blogspot.com/Tips* You can substitute instant yeast for regular dry yeast, using half the amount and adding it directly to the flour to mix into a dough.* You can use any spread you like for the filling.* You can replace the milk with egg wash.

Simple Fluffy Bread Rolls
I thought it would be pretty useful if I had a recipe for simple, basic bread.These are really easy to make so please give them a try.When kneading you don't kneed to slap the dough down on the counter etc. It's fine if you just gently knead.You can make really great bread, even if you don't have a bread maker.

Simple Walnut Bread Rolls
I kept these simple so that they could be eaten for dinner.You can use strong milky tea for the liquid instead.Raw walnuts should be roasted in a 150°C (not preheated) oven for 15 to 20 minutes.I put the in walnuts in at the beginning as my daughter likes it this way, but if you want them to be more prominent in the bread, add them halfway through.

Bread Rolls
Bread rolls were the first kind of bread I ever made. I made these rolls with my favourite dough.When the dough is not stretching well, cover with a tightly wrung out kitchen towel and let it sit for a little while.I used about 1/2 an egg for the dough and the remaining for the glaze. Recipe by Maria358
Sweet Bread Rolls
I love this bread. It would be better if you use premium bread flour.
Fluffy Sweet Bread Rolls
Fluffy rolls and pastries made from this dough won't harden even after they've cooled down. I tried out various sweet bread dough recipes and this is the result.Bring the margarine to room temperature and cut it up before adding it to your bread maker. If you can, scatter the yeast around in the ingredients and let sit in the bread maker for one minute before starting the machine. Recipe by commeline
Apple Bread Rolls
I tried to come up with an original recipe using "Secret Apple Filling". I tried all sorts of complicated recipes, but in the end I settled on this simple bread recipe.Be sure to close the seam tightly in Step 19, or the rolls may burst open when rising. Also, be sure to drain the apple filling well before spreading it on the dough. Recipe by Wagamamahime
Chocolate Banana Stick Bread Rolls
Freshly baked banana bread with banana kneaded into the dough is light and fluffy and has an irresistible sweet scent when freshly baked. But when I tried to knead it by hand, the dough was so sticky, I had a lot of trouble. I changed the ratio of ingredients and shape of the bread little by little, to come up with this easy-to-make recipe.Regular bread dough may start out sticky but gradually become smoother and easier to handle, but this dough starts out stiff and becomes softer and softer. It also won't rise much, so you may be concerned, but when it's baked it will be properly airy and light. Recipe by caramel-cookie

Orange Peel Bread Rolls

Simple Curry Bread Roll
I really wanted to eat curry bread rolls.These bread rolls turn out quite large so 1 per person should be fine.If you are cooking for children then you can divide the dough into 16 portions rather than 8. This will be an easier size for them to manage.^When you evaporate the moisture from the curry, try to use a non-stick saucepan. It will be easier to cook over medium heat and less worry about burning.After allowing the dough to rest, make sure to punch down the dough in order to release any air. Otherwise it will expand like a balloon when you deep fry!! Recipe by asaco*
Extravagant Checkerboard Bread Rolls
I wanted to make cute-looking bread using my leftover custard and anko paste.This is a delicious dough even without the custard or an paste, so eat them by themselves, or add in your favorite filling.I changed the photo for the black cocoa version. Please choose whichever method you prefer.Shut off the bread machine after making the dough. Take the cocoa wetted with about 1 teaspoon water, mix into half of the divided dough, return it to the bread maker, and switch it on!It will mix up nicely in about 5 minutes. (You can also mix it by kneading it by hand.)Please adjust the baking time and temperature according to your household oven. Recipe by Youtank

Cinnamon Almond Cream Bread Rolls
I wanted to make bread that would taste sweet like a cake.I used the ingredient ratios of Rika Sakamoto's almond cream as the base for my recipe.About the eggs.... First, crack open 2, beat, and set aside 30 g for the dough and 40 g for the cream. Set aside the rest for glazing. You can use salted butter for this recipe. Recipe by Sweetpy
Petit Sesame Bread Rolls
I wanted to make some light sesame bread.If you are making this in a bread making machine, then you can add the olive oil in from the beginning. Add in the sesame last to avoid crush it. It will be fragrant if you sauté the sesames beforehand. The absorption rate will change a bit if you change flours, so you will need to make adjustments once without adding more water. Use 240 g to start with and adjust from there if you are are using domestic flour. Recipe by Pitarou
Petit Bread Rolls
I wanted to make some bread that didn't overpower the flavour of the main meal it was served with.These rolls have a very slight salt flavour and are a convenient size.If you aren't thinking "Am I pressing down a bit too strongly?" when making the well in the bread, then you might not get a very good shape.

Homemade White Bread Rolls
Since bread starters needs to be used up within 1 - 2 weeks, I thought it best to make bread directly from liquid yeast, which lasts for a while.Unlike dry yeast, the time needed for rising varies greatly depending on the strength of the starter.I recommend yogurt or strawberry yeast, which are both strong. Recipe by saku_nana
Chestnut and Milk Tea Bread Rolls
When I was going to make some tea-scented bread, I remembered that I had a lot of chestnuts simmered in their skins in syrup that I'd made before, so I added them into the bread. It smelled so nice! And the sweetness was just right! The bread was delicious!The dough is on the soft side, so if it doesn't come together after kneading it for a while, add a little bread flour, or else reduce the amount of milk tea you add.When putting the rolls on the baking sheet, leave as much space between them as possible since they will increase in volume.You can add tea leaves to the dough too.
