Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal, plus more for dusting
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/2 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine milk with butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts. Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk yeast and sugar into 1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees). Let stand until foamy, then stir in cornmeal mixture. Lightly beat 2 eggs; stir into yeast-and-cornmeal mixture. Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour until dough is tacky but not sticky. (If dough is sticky, stir in more flour.) Transfer to a work surface dusted with flour. Knead with floured hands, dusting more flour onto hands and surface as needed, until dough is elastic and springs back when pressed with a finger, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a large bowl brushed with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. The dough can be made up to this point and left torise up to 12 hours in the refrigerator; remove from refrigerator 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Punch down dough. Form into a ball and place on a clean, undusted work surface. Quarter dough, then divide each quarter into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and space evenly on two rimmed baking sheets that are generously dusted with cornmeal (8 per sheet). Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Beat remaining egg. Brush tops of rolls with egg, then slash a 1/4-inch-deep X in tops. Lightly dust with cornmeal and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until rolls are puffed, golden, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottoms, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a basket lined with a clean towel and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

Yield Makes 16 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 8

a 1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
a pinch of sugar
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 cup yellow cornmeal
about 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt plus additional for sprinkling
1 large egg, beaten lightly
caraway seeds for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer proof the yeast with the sugar in 1/4 cup of the water for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. Beat in the remaining 1 cup water, the cornmeal, 2 1/4 cups of the flour, and 2 teaspoons of the salt and with dough hook knead the dough for 5 minutes. Knead in enough of the remaining 1/2 cup flour so that the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl but remains sticky. Turn the dough out into a large bowl, dust it with flour, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. Punch down the dough. The dough may be made up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the dough rise again, covered, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours (longer if the dough was chilled), or until it is double in bulk.
  • Punch down the dough, knead it lightly on a lightly floured surface, and divide it into 16 pieces. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, keeping the other pieces covered, form the dough into different shapes such as knots and wreaths. (To form wreaths, shape the dough into rings and with scissor snip the out edges at intervals.) Arrange the rolls as they are formed on a greased baking sheet. (Use a black-steel baking sheet for crustier rolls.) Let the rolls rise, uncovered, in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until they are almost double in bulk, brush them lightly with the egg, and sprinkle them with the seeds and the additional salt. Bake the rolls in the upper third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve the rolls warm.
