I baked some bread rolls the other day and they were so incredible, that I wanted to share the recipe with you or document it for future reference. It's from a recipe called Harvest Grains Rolls from my fave baking site King Arthur Flour, I'm still hoping to find time to sign up for one of their bread making classes in Vermont. They are slightly sweet, soft and moist, but hearty and satisfying at the same time - the perfect roll, is that possible? This recipe made 15 rolls and I put half in the freezer. The recipe is basically the same but I've substituted their Harvest grains blend for Bob's Red Mill - 7 grain cereal, which I had in my pantry, (I've used the 5 grain rolled cereal for oat bread). The mix consists of freshly ground high protein, whole grain wheat, rye, oats, triticale, barley, brown rice, oat bran and flaxseed. It's as close to the delicious wholegrain bread I've had at Panera bread, except theirs has millet.
7 - Grain Rolls (makes 15/16)
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 cups water (warm)
2 1/4 cups KA all purpose flour
1 cup KA wholewheat flour
1/2 cup 7 grain Hot cereal
1/4 cup non-fat dried milk
2 - 3 tablespoons organic sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt

- Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl or bowl of Kitchen Aid mixer.
- Add the yeast mixture and mix until a slightly wet dough forms - you may need to add a little more flour. Knead well until dough becomes smooth and elastic .
- Leave to rise, in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in size (about one hour).
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into 15 or 16 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place into a greased 8 x 11 inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for a further hour or until the rolls are nearly doubled in size.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Internal temperature should be 190 degrees F.
