Rolls, Hamburger and Hot Dog Rolls

This is a very nice dough to make rolls, hamburger or hot dog rolls. It is not 100% whole wheat, but I added some whole wheat flour. The bread is soft from the honey, fat and milk.

Rolls, Hamburger and Hot Dog Rolls

1 tablespoon instant yeast

425 grams (1 ¾ cup) milk, any fat will do

500 grams bread flour

300 grams white whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons sea salt

80 grams (1/4 cup) honey

85 grams (6 tablespoons) olive oil

1 egg

Combine all the ingredients in a stand mixer bowl and mix until everything comes into a smooth ball. Let the dough rest after it comes into a rough ball for 5 minutes and then continue. Put into a bag and refrigirate overnight.

Hamburger Buns

Form dough into 2.5 ounce balls and let them sit for 20 minutes to relax. Then take a rolling pin and roll to ½ inch circle. Brush with egg white or whole egg and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Let rise until puffy and bake at 350 F until interior is 190 F. (I will watch the time next time and let you know). 

Parmesan-Pepper Rolls

You need about a quarter of the dough for this. Roll the dough into ¼ inch thick square (make it a square as best as you can). You will have to let the dough rest in between rolls to relax the gluten. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and pepper. Cut into 1 inch strips and arrange the strips on top of each other (about 4-5 strips). Then take a knife and cut into 1 inch chunks. Place into buttered muffin tin and let them rise until puffy. Bake at 350F until golden on top.
