A delicious 20% Whole Wheat French Soft Rolls with Garlic Butter, Cheese & Pork Jerky recipe.

Cooking StepsHow to cook 20% Whole Wheat French Soft Rolls with Garlic Butter, Cheese & Pork Jerky step by step

  1. Step 1 Detail

    Make the tangzhong: Pour boiling water into the flour while stirring constantly, then quickly knead into a ball. Adding a bit more water makes it easier to tear and incorporate into the main dough later, resulting in faster and more even mixing.

  2. Step 2 Detail

    If room temperature is above 18°C, separate the dry and wet ingredients of the main dough and freeze for 30 minutes. Tear the tangzhong into pieces and mix it in, then knead until a rough film forms.

  3. Step 3 Detail

    Add olive oil in two portions and knead until evenly incorporated. Continue kneading until the dough stretches into a thin film with slightly jagged edges when torn — this gives better structure.

  4. Step 4 Detail

    First rise: 75% humidity, 28°C, about 60 minutes. Poke a hole in the center — in winter it should not spring back or collapse; in summer it may spring back slightly (it will continue fermenting after removal).

  5. Step 5 Detail

    Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, round each and let rest. Roll out each piece, sprinkle garlic powder evenly, add about 8–9g cheese and 6g+ pork jerky per piece. Distribute filling evenly and shape into ovals.

  6. Step 6 Detail

    Spray the dough surface lightly with water and coat with cheese powder. (I didn’t have cheese powder, so I used streusel topping instead.)

  7. Step 7 Detail

    Second rise: 34°C for 30 minutes.

    Step 8 Detail

    Score a deep cut down the center — it needs to be deep enough to look good after expansion, but don’t expose the filling. Place a thin strip of butter in the cut.

  9. Step 9 Detail

    Preheat convection oven to 200°C, bake for 18 minutes.

  10. Step 10 Detail

    Mist the dough with water before putting it in the oven. Use the steam function after loading, spraying water mist twice for about 3–5 seconds each, 1 minute apart. Since spraying water quickly lowers the oven temperature, preheat at a slightly higher temperature to maintain the baking temperature. If the color is still too light in the last 2 minutes, reduce to 180°C.
