Guyanese Tennis Rolls are soft, slightly sweet bread rolls commonly found in bakeries and enjoyed in homes throughout Guyana. They are known for their fluffy texture, golden exterior, and gentle sweetness. These rolls are especially popular as a breakfast or snack option and are often enjoyed with butter, cheese, jam, or a warm cup of tea.
The name and exact recipe can vary between bakeries and households. This homemade version uses a simple enriched yeast dough with milk, butter, and a light coconut flavour for a soft, tender result. Freshly baked Tennis Rolls are delicious on their own or served alongside savoury dishes.
1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Leave for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
3. Prepare the Dough: Add the yeast mixture, egg, softened butter, vanilla, and coconut milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Knead by hand for 8–10 minutes or with a mixer until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if it is excessively sticky.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Rolls: Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 10–12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth round roll.
7. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise for another 15–20 minutes.
8. Prepare the Egg Wash: Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the rolls lightly.
9. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Cool and Serve: Transfer the rolls to a wire rack and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
