30 Minute Spelt Rolls That Are Light Airy Food

SPELT ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix together the flours, yeast and salt. Add the oil, honey and warm water and mix so that is comes together. Try not to mix too much, if possible. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it.
• Knead the dough for a couple of minutes to stretch the dough a little and avoid it being too sticky. It won't need as much as some breads, but a little will help. Add some extra flour as needed as it may be a little sticky. It will still be soft, but you don't want it to constantly stick to your hands.
• Lightly oil a large bowl then put the dough inside, cover and transfer to a warm, draft-free spot. It shouldn't be hot, but an oven that has almost cooled will be great and will reduce the rising time. Leave to roughly double in size, around 1 hour depending on how warm it is.
• Once it has risen, tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knock it back (press into the dough with your fingers a few times to get out the excess bubbles). Divide into 6 equal pieces.
• Line a baking sheet/tray with parchment. Form each piece of dough into a ball with lightly floured hands and place on the parchment with at least 1 1/2inches/4cm between them. Cover with a cloth and leave to rise a little more for approx 30 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 465F/240C.
• Bake the rolls for approximately 15 minutes until they are brown and sound hollow when you turn it over and tap the bottom. Allow to cool a few minutes before using.

MOM'S AIR BUNS (ROLLS)

Steps:

• Mix the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, and allow to proof.
• Melt the lard, and mix in sugar, salt, vinegar, and warm water. When body warm, add the proofed yeast, and beat in 1 1/2 cups flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead in approximately 3 cups more flour.
• Let dough rise till double (approximately 2 hours).
• Deflate dough, and form into buns, any size, (I make 16 large) or loaves. Rise till double (takes approximately one hour, but depends on size/shape chosen).
• Bake buns at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes.
• For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

VEGAN SPELT BUNS OR ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Grease a 9"x13" and set aside. (I used coconut oil cooking spray).
• Mix the 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp water, let sit 15 minutes. It should absorb the water, resulting in a thick and goopy mixture.
• In your mixer bowl combine water, coconut oil, yeast and sugar. Mix and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Using your dough hook attachment, mix in the salt, flax mixture and flour. Knead with hook until dough is smooth and soft (about 2 minutes). You may add 2 tbsp more flour if it seems too sticky.
• Form dough into 12 equal sized balls and place into the greased 9"x13" pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
• Brush with melted vegan butter and sprinkle some poppy or sesame seeds on top.

THE BEST SPELT ROLLS OR HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Add the warm water to your mixing bowl and stir in the sugar until most of it is dissolved. Gently stir in the yeast. Wait 5 minutes for the yeast to become active. You should see some yeast and bubble floating to the top.
• Mix in the cup flour. Add the egg and butter at this point and mix thoroughly.
• Stir in the salt.
• Slowly mix in the rest of the spelt flour. When it forms a ball that just barely sticks to the bowl, then it is time to start kneading.
• Either turn it out onto a floured board or switch to a dough hook in your mixer, and knead for 3 minutes.
• Put the dough ball in the rising bowl and roll it around so that it is coated with the oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise for about 2 hours or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough and gently knead out any large bubbles. Let it rest for a few minutes.
• For Rolls:.
• Oil your cake pan. Pull off pieces of dough a little bigger than a golf ball and roll them in your hand to form round top. Place them side by side in your pan. I tend to make 4 rows of 4 rolls in an 8x8 pan and 5 rows of 5 slightly smaller rolls in a 9x9 pan. Cover and let rise for an hour. Preheat your oven to 350°F Bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For Buns:.
• Separate dough into 16 equal pieces and shape into flattened, round buns. Place onto 2 large cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F and bake 12-18 minutes.
