• Bring 3/4 cup whole milk and 3/4 cup water to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add butter; stir until melted. Attach instant-read thermometer to inside of pan; let milk cool until thermometer registers 120°F to 130°F.
• Meanwhile, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, dry milk powder, sugar, yeast, and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Add warm milk mixture. Stir to blend; mix in egg yolk. Knead mixture in bowl until dough comes together (dough will be sticky). Turn out onto floured work surface and knead until very smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 8 minutes. Place dough in buttered bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel. Let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Butter 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan or small baking sheet. Turn dough out onto floured work surface and divide in half. Knead each piece lightly until smooth. Cut each dough half into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into almost smooth ball. Arrange dough rounds in 4 lengthwise and 4 crosswise rows in prepared pan, spacing about 3/4 to 1 inch apart (rolls will not fill pan). Cover shaped rolls with kitchen towel and let rise in warm draft-free area until rolls have almost doubled in volume and have expanded enough to touch each other, about 1 hour 15 minutes.

It's available at some supermarkets and specialty foods stores and from kingarthurflour.com.

SEEDED MOLASSES WHOLE-WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the sponge: Put molasses, yeast and water in a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) and stir to dissolve. Whisk in bread flour to obtain a batterlike consistency. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature until mixture looks active, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak the larger seeds for the dough: Put flax, millet, sunflower and pepita seeds in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes, then drain. Rinse with cool water and drain well, then stir soaked seeds into the sponge mixture.
• Add eggs, olive oil, spelt flour, whole-wheat flour and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes or so, until dough forms smooth ball. (Use only enough flour to help with kneading; dough will be a bit sticky.) Alternatively, use the dough hook of a stand mixer to knead the dough for 4 to 5 minutes, until smooth.
• Transfer dough to a large zip-top plastic storage bag and refrigerate overnight for a slow, cool rise. (If you wish to skip this step, leave dough to rise in the bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled, about 1 hour; see note.)
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put risen dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cut dough into 3-ounce/85-gram pieces. Form each piece into a tight ball. Place 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover dough balls loosely with a large piece of plastic wrap and place baking sheet in a warm spot until balls have doubled, about 1 hour.
• Uncover and paint tops of balls lightly with beaten egg. Mix together caraway, cumin, sesame, nigella and anise seeds. Sprinkle seed mixture over each ball, then sprinkle with sea salt, if using.
