Rye & Flaxseed BunsCuisine: Parve Category: Breads Servings: 12 Ingredients:2 oz. fresh yeast granules3/4 cup light brown sugar 5 cups water 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. canola oil 1 cup soy milk 7 1/2 cups finely ground whole-wheat flour 5 cups rye flour 1 cup wheat germ 1 cup ground whole sesame seeds 1/2 to 1 cup ground flax seeds 1 egg 1 tbsp. salt 1 egg white Instructions:In the mixer bowl, pour the yeast granules, 1/4 cup of the light brown sugar, and 1 cup of the warm water. Cover the bowl and let it activate for 5 minutes. Add the oil, soy milk, and 2 more cups of warm water. Add in the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, ground sesame seeds, and ground flaxseed. Start to knead this with your mixer until it turns into a thick mixture. Add the rest of the water and the rye flour in one-cup increments, until you have a workable dough. If the dough is not pliable, add more drops of water and oil, alternating between the two, until you have a good dough that does not stick to the sides of your mixing bowl. Turn off the mixer. Separate challah without a blessing. Grease a large bowl and turn out the dough into this bowl. Turn the dough over one more time so it is greased on all sides. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and then with towels and allow it to rise for an hour. This will grow at least twice its size. Punch down. There are many ways that this dough can be shaped. To make this into simple hot dog shaped buns, simply roll out thick logs as usual but just allow them to rise directly on your lined baking trays. To make small muffin shaped rolls, grease a muffin tin well with cooking spray and make medium-sized "knots" out of the logs, then allow them to rise inside the muffin holders. To make simple rolls, just shape them into small rounds with your hands and let them rise directly on the baking trays or in the muffin tins. Preheat the oven to 350° degrees for 20 minutes prior to baking. Brush the rolls with the egg white. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls, or cornmeal. Bake for 20 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown on top and bottom. NOT TRIED YETClick Here To Return To The Recipe List This Page Generated By: |
