Dinner Roll Recipe:
2 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp warm water about 110 degrees
1/3 cup olive oil or butter
1/4 cup sugar or honey
1 tsp salt
2 cups Spelt flour or Ezekiel flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For optional topping:
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp flaky salt, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds
Add yeast and warm water to a large bowl. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, mixture should be foamy.
Slowly mix in the salt and flour. Continue to add flour until you have a soft dough.
Using a dough hook, knead in a mixer for 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. (If you don't want to use a mixer, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface.) Do not let rise. Divide into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball. Do not let the dough rise.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the dough balls on a greased or lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, brush the buns with an egg wash, then sprinkle with optional topping. Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes.
Let cool. Enjoy with lots of butter 😋
