Soft, chewy and slightly sweet, these sweet rolls are by far my favorite breakfast item these days. I make them in advance and freeze, then thaw in the microwave each morning, 10-15 seconds on each side.
Makes 12 rolls
New quantity:
Total time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Prep: 15 minutes
Inactive:2 hours 30 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Rest:15 minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup warm reduced-fat milk
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 envelope rapid rise yeast
Glaze:
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Optional topping:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds
Directions
1. Place the first 9 ingredients in your bread machine pan. Set on the dough cycle.
2.Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the pan onto a lightly floured surface.
3. Divide into 12 equal portions, each weighing about 70 grams – shape into a log, cut into three portions, then cut each of those into four portions. Shape each portion into a knot shape – just like you would make any other knot. First roll the dough into a rope, then bring one end over the rope, then under. Like this:
Or simply shape into a smooth ball.
4. Cover loosely with a plastic wrap and let rise one hour.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the egg with the water and sugar to make the glaze. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the sweet rolls with the glaze and, if desired, sprinkle with the seeds (one tablespoon is enough for all 12 rolls).
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until deep golden brown (mine were ready after 18 minutes). Cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving. It’s tempting to eat these sweet rolls hot,but they’re much better at room temperature.
