Place all ingredients into the bowl of the Thermomix. Mix 6 - 20 seconds at Speed 3 until the dough has formed into a ball that begins to clean the sides of the bowl. If too dry, add a little more water (common with organic flours).
Knead 1½ minutes at the kneading setting. Tip Thermomix bowl upside down on greased baking tray. Loosen blades by undoing the blade unit at the base. The weight of the blades will help the dough to drop out of the bowl onto the baking tray. Pull any remaining bits of dough off the blades and out of the bowl. Form into 6 flattened round balls (for burger buns) or 6 long finger rolls (for hotdog buns/finger rolls) or shape the whole amount of dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf tin. Lightly oil the top of the buns/loaf. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. On a folded tea towel or chef's pad on top of the simmering plate of the Aga is a perfect place. A warm airing cupboard also works well.
For Aga owners: 2, 3, and 4 oven: Bake loaf on rack sitting on the floor in the Roasting Oven for 20 minutes. If loaf or rolls are browning too quickly, slide cold plain shelf onto runners near the top of the oven so there is a 3" (8 cm) gap above them. Turn the pan if necessary to prevent too much browning at the back of the oven.
Bake rolls 10 - 12 minutes in the same place in the Roasting Oven (no cold plain shelf required).
Conventional Oven: Bake loaf at 220°C/ 425˚F/ Gas 7 for 20 - 30 minutes. Bake rolls 10 - 15 minutes.
