Whole Wheat Rolls with Walnuts
Ingredients:
- 280 grams (2 cups) whole wheat flour
- 220 grams (1 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
- 12 grams (3 tsp.) active dry yeast
- 70 ml. (1/3 cup) olive oil
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 200-250 ml water (add gradually)
- 5 grams (1 tsp.) fine salt
- 75 grams (3/4 cup) chopped walnuts
- Beaten egg for brushing
- Sesame seeds for decoration
- In a bowl of a mixer with a dough-hook knead whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, olive oil and honey for 2-3 minutes until dough begins to form. Gradually add the water and continue to knead for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.
- Add in salt and walnuts and knead another 2-3 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover and allow rising until dough doubles in volume.
- Once the dough has risen, knead it for another minute by hand (in order to let the air out), cover and let rise again until doubled in volume.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Form each part of the dough into a ball shape and place on an oven pan lined with baking paper.
- Cover and let rise until almost doubled in volume.
- Preheat oven to 175c degrees.
- Gently brush the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake for 13-17 minutes, until golden and set.
- Cool completely at room temperature.
- It’s important to add the water gradually in order to get the right texture of the dough; it should be soft and slightly sticky, but not runny.
- Keep the rolls in sealed bag in the freezer for up to a month.
