Whole Grain Rolls
May. 5th, 2019 06:02 pmWhile my parents were visiting, I made up this recipe (eyeballing all the measurements) to accompany supper one night. It turned out really well, so I made it again to figure out exact quantities. Here is the recipe for posterity.
Note: I generally use whole grains and grind them to flour with my Vitamix. Use equivalent weights (not volumes!) if you substitute pre-ground flour.
Whole Grain Maple Oat Rolls
Maple Oat Rolls
Ingredients:
1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 3/4 cups whole hard wheat berries (350g)
1/2 cup rolled oats (60g)
1/2 tsp salt
(all below at room temperature if possible)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 egg, beaten
bowl of warm water for kneading
Directions:
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and set aside.
Combine the wheat and oats and grind into flour. pour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the salt. Allow to cool slightly.
Add the maple syrup, yogurt, egg, and yeast mixture. Stir until it forms a dough, then turn out of the bowl onto a smooth (preferably non-stick) surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10-15 minutes), dipping hand into bowl of warm water as needed to prevent sticking.
Return kneaded dough to bowl and cover with a damp towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until roughly doubled in size, 1-2 hours. While it rises, prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
When risen, remove dough from bowl and cut into 6 equal pieces (for burger buns) or 12 equal pieces (for dinner rolls). Form each piece into a ball by stretching the dough around to the same side to form a seam, then place seam-side down on the prepared sheet pan. Cover the balls with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm place (out of reach of dogs!) for about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F. When balls have finished rising, remove towel and place the sheet pan on the center oven rack. Once the oven door is closed, immediately reduce heat to 375°F. Bake until lightly browned on top (about 20 minutes).
