Herbed Oat Bran Rolls
Ingredients:
(more listed in Proof)
1 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/3 cups organic spelt flour
2 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp garlic granules
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup bread flour for kneading and to coat bread pan
Proof: (15 min.)
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tbsp organic honey
1/3 cup bread flour
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
1 cup coarse oat bran
Directions:
In a medium bowl, create a Proof by combining warm water, dry yeast, honey, and bread flour. Stir, then cover and allow to set 15 min. in a warm place.
In a large bowl, combine bread flour, spelt flour, dried parsley, garlic granules, and salt. Cover and set aside.
When Proof has set 15 min., add olive oil, stir, then add oat bran and stir well to moisten oat bran. Pour into flour mixture, stir, then knead 5 min. with a large wooden spoon. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise 30 min. in a warm place.
Lightly oil a cookie sheet, then sprinkle it with flour for use during the final rise. Tap sheet to remove excess flour.
After the first rise, sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, remove dough from bowl and knead gently 5 min., adding sprinkles of flour to keep dough from sticking to hands and surface.
Divide dough and form into 8 rolls, then place evenly on prepared cookie sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise 35 min. in a warm place.
15 min. before baking, turn on oven to 350 degrees. Remove cover from dough and bake 40-45 min.. Serve while warm, then cover and refrigerate any remaining rolls (or freeze for use later).
