Image of Blueberry & Apple Puffs: a quick microwave bread recipe provided with nutrition facts for homebaked sweet and sour rolls.
[Yields 32 rolls]    Cooking time: 45 minutes
 

1 package (14 oz.) machine mix bread flour (country white)
1 tablespoon (4 g) active dry yeast, included in the machine mix bread flour
1 cup low-fat milk
64 blueberries (3/4 cup)
1 medium apple, cut into 32 pieces
6 tablespoons sugar

1. Set aside 1/3 cup flour for flouring board.

2. Pour the milk in a microwave-safe plastic bowl (7 cups).* Cover with a vented microwave lid and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 40 seconds until it reaches 75 – 85 degrees F. Cool the milk, if it reaches over 85F. Yeast will not activate if milk is too hot.

3. Combine half of the flour and milk. Beat with a wire whisk until it becomes smooth. Add yeast and mix well.

4. Add the remaining flour and mix well with a wooden or rubber spatula until it becomes smooth. Shape into a ball.

5. Cover with a microwave lid and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 10 seconds.

8. Roll out on lightly floured board. Shape each piece into a 3-inch diameter circle.

* A resin-treated plastic bowl works best (such as Ziploc). Dough does not stick and it is light enough to handle easily.
