Try allowing your dough to rise overnight in the fridge.

You can’t rely on auto correct for a foreign word, but seeing that «brochen» doesn’t exist in either language, it must be down to your typing or spelling.

I’m planning to try a “No Knead Bread” as demonstrated by lots of Instagram bakers. It sounds very similar to Norah’s recipe above. Tesco sells Strong Bread Flour.

I came across a recipe for rolls made in an air fryer. I have not tried it yet (at the time of writing, can't find the recipe either!). I am sure that Google will have the info. It sounded so much of a doddle that even I would try it!

The recipe for Air Fryer Rolls was discussed on this forum earlier. smile
