WHOLE-GRAIN HERBED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the garlic on a double-thick square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and fold up the foil to enclose the garlic securely. Place the garlic directly on the oven rack and bake until it is golden brown and meltingly soft, about 1 hour. Unwrap and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the parsley, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a small bowl. Remove the roasted garlic cloves from the white papery husks with the tip of a butter knife and place them in the bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and spreadable. Spread the mixture evenly over the bread halves and sprinkle with the Parmesan and salt to taste. Place on a baking sheet and broil (about 6 inches from the heat source) until the top is just browned, about 2 minutes. Cut into 4 pieces and serve warm.

HERBED WHOLE GRAIN BREAD OR ROLLS

Steps:

• warm milk, water, shortening, sugar, and salt together in either a pan on the stove or a food processor in the microwave until it is very warm to the touch, but not hot. (if you can handle it/touch it without harming yourself, it's about right to hatch yeast).
• stir in or process wheat flour and rye flour until well mixed and let stand five minutes to absorb moisture. (It's very important to allow this to stand for five minutes so that these high-fiber grains absorb as much moisture as they'll need to in order to prevent dry/grainy bread later).
• blend in egg.
• stir in or process *gently* the yeast and allow it to sit for ten minutes to soften.
• Add small batches of white flour and process well until well incorporated until a manageable 'non-clinging' dough is formed. Do not add until stiff or dry.
• Knead gently until semi-smooth and it holds its shape together.
• Grease large 2 quart bowl with butter or shortening, press dough down into the greased bowl, then turn right side up and cover with a warm damp towel and let rise 20 minutes.
• Knock air out of risen dough and shape into 4 small to medium loaves or two large loaves; grease four medium bread or two large bread pans. Press loaves down into greased pans, turn right side up, and cover again with warm damp towel. Let rise until double in bulk.
• Bake large loaves or baguettes for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Bake medium loaves at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Bake bread rolls at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
• Bake French rolls at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• When bread is browned on top and crust is browned, remove from pans, brush immediately with butter, and let cool. Brush again with butter when cool enough to handle with hands. (At this point, I usually take all my fresh-washed pans and put them back into the warm oven upside down to dry and prevent damage to my pans).

BUTTERY HERBED DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. With a fork, stir in the butter, sugar, salt and egg. With the mixer on low, add the flour and then the herbs. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Lightly butter a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, then cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your house.
• Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Transfer the dough to a work surface and cut into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball. Transfer the dough balls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly (rolls will touch once they have risen). Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Finish the rolls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Very gently brush the rolls with some melted butter and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with more melted butter and serve warm.
