Creating these distinctive, buttery dinner rolls, marked by their folded shape and soft texture, can be simplified using an automated bread maker. This approach combines the classic appeal of this New England staple with the convenience of modern kitchen technology. A typical process involves adding pre-measured ingredients to the machine, selecting the appropriate settings (often a “dough” cycle), and allowing the machine to knead and proof the dough. The baker then shapes and bakes the rolls separately.
Automating the initial steps frees up time and reduces the potential for errors in mixing and proofing, crucial aspects for achieving the desired light and airy texture. This method allows more people to enjoy freshly baked rolls without extensive baking experience. Historically, making these rolls was a labor-intensive process. Leveraging technology makes the process more accessible and efficient, preserving a beloved culinary tradition for modern kitchens.
