Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups (or more) white whole wheat flour* or regular whole wheat flour
3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 large egg yolk
1 large egg white, whisked with 1 tablespoon water (for glaze)
3 to 4 tablespoons quick-cooking oats

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Gently brush rolls with egg-white glaze, then sprinkle generously with oats. Bake dinner rolls until light golden brown, about 28 minutes. Let rolls cool in pan 5 minutes, then pull rolls apart and cool on rack at least 15 minutes.
  • A LITTLE AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cool rolls completely, then wrap in foil and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm foil-wrapped rolls in 350°F oven about 10 minutes, if desired, or serve at room temperature.
  • FURTHER AHEAD: Can be made and then frozen up to 2 weeks ahead. Wrap in foil, then place in resealable plastic bag.
  • *White whole wheat flour is milled from 100 percent hard white wheat. It contains all of the germ and bran (and nutritional value) of regular whole wheat, but has a naturally lighter color and milder flavor. It's available at some supermarkets and specialty foods stores and from kingarthurflour.com.

SEEDED MOLASSES WHOLE-WHEAT DINNER ROLLS



Seeded Molasses Whole-Wheat Dinner Rolls image

Dinner rolls don't have to be white and fluffy. These flavorful brown-bread rolls are chock full of a variety of tasty seeds and are sweetened with a touch of molasses. The dough resembles a whole-wheat challah, with a crisp crust and a light texture.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     breads, side dish

Time 3h

Yield About 30 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon dark molasses
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1 1/2 cups/375 milliliters cold water
2 cups/250 grams unbleached bread flour
1/4 cup/40 grams flax seed
1/4 cup/50 grams millet
1/4 cup/30 grams sunflower seeds
1/4 cup/40 grams pepita seeds
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup/60 milliliters olive oil
1 cup/140 grams spelt flour
2 cups/300 grams whole-wheat flour, more for flouring work surface
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
1 teaspoon anise seeds
Sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

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.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool on a rack.

Top tips: Delicious Dinner Rolls

  • Activate your yeast: Before you start making the dinner roll recipe, activate your yeast. This can be done by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and stirring until the yeast is dissolved. Let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes, until it is fo NAVIGATIONmy and bubbly. This will help ensure that your dinner biscuit recipe rises properly.
  • Knead well: Kneading the plum dinner roll recipe develops the gluten in the bread and helps it to form a smooth, supple ball. Knead vigorously for at least 5 minutes, or until the bread is no longer sticky. If you are using a stand mixer, you can do this in 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Let the bread rise twice: Once you have prepared the yeast and made the plum dinner roll recipe, let the bread rise twice. This gives the yeast time to work and the bread to double in size. The first rise should be for about 1 hour, or until the bread has doubled in size. The second rise should be for about 30 minutes, or until the bread has doubled in size again.
  • Bake in a hot pan: When you are ready to bake the dinner roll recipe, make sure the pan is hot. This will help the crust form quickly, giving you a nice, golden-life finish. You can place the pan in the fridge for a few minutes before adding the bread to help it cool.
  • Don't over bake: Dinner roll recipe is done when a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake, as this will make the bread dry and tough.
