- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
8 rolls
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons yeast (1 package)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 1⁄2 cups white flour, plus more if needed
- salt (optional)
- seeds (optional)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F Grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
- Mix oil and water and heat until warm (I go "by feel - warm but not hot", but the proper temperature is 130 F). I use the microwave (heat for 90 seconds and then let it sit) for best results but you can also use the stovetop.
- Combine the yeast, salt, sugar, whole wheat flour, and white flour in a large bowl and stir until well-mixed.
- Mix the water and oil into the flour mixture.
- Turn the dough onto a floured countertop and knead. As you are kneading, add flour (up to 1 additional cup) until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Cut the dough into 8 pieces and shape them. (I usually make football shapes but these also make good breadsticks.).
- Brush with water, and sprinkle with any or all of the things in the introduction.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are browned and the crust has gotten crunchy. (Slightly shorter time for breadsticks -- 10-15 minutes.).
- Enjoy hot with butter or margarine!
