Walnuts are commonly paired with whole wheat, but something pretty great happens when you team them up with tangy rye and bits of sweet sautéed onion instead. A batch of these is especially tasty alongside a platter of your favorite cheeses.

Yield Makes 2 dozen rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 tablespoon salt, divided
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from a 1/4-oz package)
1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F)
1 tablespoon mild honey or sugar
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading and dusting
1 cup rye flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted, cooled, and coarsely chopped
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
1/4 cup nigella or poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 3Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt in oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain onions in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving onions. Stir milk into onion oil in bowl.
  • Stir together yeast, warm water, and honey in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
  • Mix flours, pepper, milk mixture, and remaining 2 3/4 teaspoons salt into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead, dusting surface and your hands with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until dough is elastic and smooth, about 6 minutes.
  • Pat dough into a 9-inch square and sprinkle with onions and walnuts. Fold dough over to enclose filling and pinch edges to seal. Knead to distribute onion and nuts throughout dough, dusting with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, about 2 minutes. (Dough will be lumpy; if any nuts or pieces of onion pop out, just push them back in.)
  • Put dough in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft- free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Punch down dough (do not knead), then halve. Roll half of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands into a 12-inch-long log (keep remaining half covered with plastic wrap). Cut log into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball by cupping your hand and pushing dough against work surface as you roll in a circular motion. Arrange rolls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Cover rolls with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Make more rolls with remaining dough, arranging and covering them on second sheet. Let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  • Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack and cool at least 20 minutes.

Time 2h40m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup warm water
2 packages dry yeast (2 scant Tbs.)
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon clove
2 cups fresh cranberries, ground
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups rye flour
4 1/2-5 cups white flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Add sour cream, salt, molasses, sugar, allspice, cloves, cranberries, walnuts and rye flour.
  • Mix on low speed to blend then mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  • Add enough white flour to make a soft dough.
  • Knead for 5 minutes.
  • Place in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled.
  • Punch down and divide in two.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Grease two 9" by 5" loaf pans.

  • Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until deep golden brown.
  • Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
  • Brush with butter while still warm if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rye flour for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh rye flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but the flavor and texture will be slightly different.
  • Be sure to soak the walnuts in hot water for at least 10 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend into the dough.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the rolls tough.
  • Be sure to let the rolls rise in a warm place until they are double in size. This will help to ensure that they are light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These rye walnut rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy, with a slightly nutty flavor from the walnuts. The rolls are also a good source of fiber and protein. Whether you serve them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
