Share
Easter is the perfect time to gather with family, celebrate, and enjoy delicious food. Whether you’re baking soft dinner rolls or carving a perfectly roasted lamb, the right tools make a big difference in the kitchen. In this blog, we’re sharing two classic Easter recipes that will impress your guests, all while showcasing the essential knives from the Wangmazi Knife Collection.
Soft, Fluffy Dinner Rolls
Makes: 12 rolls
Prep Time: 2 hours (including rising)
Bake Time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (around 110°F), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and butter. Pour in the yeast mixture and add the beaten egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet.
Second rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and slice: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing.
How the Wangmazi Helps:
For perfectly sliced dinner rolls, use the Wangmazi Bread Knife. Its serrated edge is designed to slice through soft, fluffy bread without crushing or tearing it. The clean, sharp cut will give your rolls that bakery-quality look.
Pro Tip: When slicing the rolls, gently saw with the serrated edge. This ensures you don’t squish the soft interior, leaving each roll perfectly intact.
Perfectly Carved Easter Lamb
Serves: 6-8 people
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1.5 - 2 hours (depending on the size of the lamb)
Ingredients:
1 leg of lamb (about 5-6 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the lamb: Rub the leg of lamb with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Make sure the lamb is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Roast the lamb: Place the lamb on a roasting pan and roast for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Rest the lamb: Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carve the lamb: Using a sharp knife, slice the lamb into even portions, cutting against the grain for the most tender slices.
The Wangmazi Steak Knife from our 15-piece kitchen set is perfect for carving tender meats like lamb. Its sharp edge ensures smooth, precise slices without tearing or shredding the meat. You’ll get clean, even portions every time.
