Author Notes
Rye rolls are soft, fragrant, airy, not even mentioning that they are healthy and freeze OK as well.
Adapted from www.butterybooks.com with slight changes. And I did kneading by hand. —Olgalina
Ingredients
-
50 milliliters
water
-
1 teaspoon
sugar
-
4 teaspoons
dry yeast
-
2 tablespoons
sugar
-
3 tablespoons
carob molasses
-
2.5 cups
warm water
-
3 teaspoons
espresso powder
-
2,5 tablespoons
cocoa powder
-
2 cups
rye flour
-
2 teaspoons
salt
-
1 cup
AP flour
-
2 cups
WW flour
-
1
egg white
-
flax seed for the top
Directions
-
Start with mixing first 3 ingredients and let it stand for several minutes to foam.
-
Add the rest of water, coffee powder, cocoa and molasses. Add rye flour and stir until there are no lumps.
-
Now add salt and 1AP and 1WW flour. Start kneading and adding some more WW flour, as much as is needed to make slightly sticky dough. Place the dough in a big bowl, cover with plastic and let it rise for 1 hour.
-
Punch the dough down and press with your hands to create square disk. Cut it into smaller squares (I made 19 actually), transfer these buns onto lined with paper baking sheet and let them rise again, 45 minutes approximately.
-
Preheat oven to 190C. Coat each with egg white wash and sprinkle with flax seeds.
Bake for 20 minutes and let them cool on a wire rack.
