OK, folks! Today is World Bread day, so we’re showing … rolls. Yes, rolls. I know – it could have been something deeper, something more artisanal … but you get rolls. They have green olives, onions, garlic, and cumin in them, if that counts for anything?
This is the first batch of bread using Allinson yeast, and I must say that I really liked everything about it. It reminded me of Rize yeast, in its smell, because it smelled a bit … well, funky. Like sweaty feet, a little, or maybe a strong cheese. But the granules of yeast were huge, and it proofed wonderfully! I’m going to have to adjust the quantity of yeast downwards quite a bit with this brand, I can see, as this batch came together almost as quickly as I could handle it, and the rise was active enough to have had the rolls rise to +50% of their size by the time I was done forming all of them!
Ingredients-wise, these contain whole wheat flour, Hovis Seeded flour, wheat bran, oat bran, Seville orange-peel stuffed green olives, onion, garlic, cumin, yeast, and salt. No quantities are available for any of the ingredients due to a lack of measuring implements, but it’s just basically a standard bread recipe with … extra stuff bodged in. (shipping update: our belongings are now in a warehouse 10 miles away, but no delivery date yet)
They won’t last very long, sadly, with nearly half of this batch being ravenously consumed straight from the oven. I think it may have been the orange peel which actually makes them so tasty, as it’s an unusually bright flavor amongst all of the savories.
Do click through to the World Bread Day blog-event site host, to see if you can find some updates & other bloggers who are participating. There should be a roundup posted there at some point this weekend, and I’ll update this post with the link when it comes. Until then, though, I’m pretty sure that The Barmy Baker or some other of the Daring Bakers will be participating.
It’s not too late for you to participate, either!

Man! That looks delicious! What would be good on them besides just scarfing down straight??
Sliced open with a bit of pesto, some fresh, white cheese, a tomato and some black pepper, freshly ground? Think Mediterranean… those lovely orange-olive onion flavors would go well with grilled eggplant, too. They’re a good size of roll for tiny sandwiches. Yum!
Your rolls sound delicious and I can understand eating them hot from the oven. Alas…my bread won’t be posted until tomorrow. Dinner calls…What a weak excuse, huh?
who knew it was world bread day! not me! i totally missed the boat, or bread pan! your rolls look and sound great. i always enjoy your list of ingredients. i agree with t, mediterranean sounds like a good match. glad your stuff is getting closer! take care.
Shoot! I missed it, although I did consider making rolls to go with last nights supper of soup. Unfortunately the head cold won out.
I like all the ingredients!
Thank you for participating in WBD.
I love the idea of adding the olives with orange peel to the dough…can imagine the gorgeous smell…
