RYE DINNER ROLLS WITH CRISP TOPS

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Stir together yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, and sugar in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
• Stir flours, salt, and remaining scant 3/4 cup water into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with lightly floured hands until dough is elastic and smooth but still supple and slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
• Put dough in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise in a draft- free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
• Make rolls:
• Punch down dough (do not knead). Remove from bowl and fold into thirds like a letter. Divide into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball, transferring to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and loosely covering with plastic wrap (or towel). Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Lightly brush each ball of dough with some of egg white. Gently lay a round of rye-crisp dough, egg-wash side up, on top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.
• Make rye-crisp tops while rolls rise:
• Stir together flours and salt, then stir in water and oil until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times. Divide into 16 very small pieces. Roll out each piece on lightly floured surface to a thin round (about 2 inches; shape need not be perfectly round) and arrange in 1 layer on a sheet of parchment.
• Beat egg white with a pinch of salt and lightly brush some of it onto rounds. Let stand, uncovered, to dry slightly while rolls rise.
• Assemble and bake rolls:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Lightly brush each ball of dough with some of egg white. Gently lay a round of rye-crisp dough, egg-wash side up, on top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.

RYE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 3 eggs, milk powder, butter, brown sugar, molasses, salt, baking soda and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Divide dough into 30 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. , In a small bowl, whisk cold water and remaining egg; brush over dough. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and/or kosher salt. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. , Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

CHEDDAR AND ONION RYE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the yeast and water in the bowl of a mixer and stir to completely dissolve. Let the yeast proof until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the bread and rye flours, sugar, molasses, oil, and salt. Mix the ingredients together on low speed using the dough hook just until the dough begins to come together (it will look a little rough), about 4 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is smooth, 2 more minutes. Add the cheese and onion and continue to mix on medium speed until the cheese and onions are evenly distributed throughout the dough, about 1 minute.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand until the cheese and onions are completely worked into the dough. (The dough will feel rather tight.) Gather it into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Fold the dough gently over on itself in three or four places, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and cut it into 20 equal pieces. Cover the pieces and let them rest until nice and relaxed, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly.
• Round each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place in even rows on the prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise until the dough springs back when lightly touched but does not collapse, 30 minutes.
• Make a small slit down the center of each roll with a very sharp paring knife or a razor blade. Dust the tops of the rolls lightly with rye flour, if desired.
• Bake until the rolls have a golden brown crust and sound hollow when thumped on the bottom, 15-18 minutes. Cool completely on racks before serving. Enjoy!

LORILYN'S RYE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In heavy duty mixer bowl (fitted with dough hook attachment), stir together yeast, 1 cup of the all purpose flour & all the rye flour.
• In small saucepan over med-high heat, combine salt, sugar, milk & shortening.
• Stir with wooden spoon until shortening is nearly melted & just has a couple tiny, pea-sized lumps floating around (approx 120 degrees on candy thermometer).
• Pour hot mixture into mixer bowl with yeast & flour, add both eggs & begin mixing on low to medium speed til mixture is all wet.
• Begin slowly adding spoonfuls of flour & mixing until dough forms into ball around the dough hook & bottom of mixer bowl is no longer sticky with wet dough. Ball of dough will be slightly smooth & spring back when touched with fingertip.
• Remove dough from hook & bowl & form into ball with hands. Spray inside of bowl with non-stick cooking spray & then drop dough ball into bowl with the smooth side down. Then turn ball over so the seam side is now down. (This greases top & bottom of ball).
• Cover mixer bowl with it's lid,a towel or foil & place in warm area to rise for about an hour. Dough will be about double the starting size in an hour.
• When risen, use fist to "punch" dough down in center. Then remove from bowl & divide into two balls. Place both on lightly floured surface & cover loosely with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Roll out one ball at a time into large circle about 1/2 inch or less in thickness.
• Use pizza cutter to slice dough like a pizza into about 12 or so triangles. Roll each triangle up starting at large end & ending with the "tail" end. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet with tail on bottom.
• Cover & let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes (depending on oven being used & personal preference. I only bake ours 9-10 minutes because we like them light in color & a litte squishy in the middle).

EASY RYE SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• Add the warm water and yeast to a large bowl with a pinch of sugar and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the rye flour, the whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of the bread flour, the salt, and the sugar.
• Add those dry ingredients and the warm dill pickle juice to the yeast mixture and beat well for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is stringy but smooth.
• Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the oil, then add the remaining 1-1/2 cups of bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough is so stiff that you can't stir in anymore flour, start kneading it in by hand, either in the bowl or on a countertop.
• Knead for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth; don't add any more flour as that will make the rolls dry.
• Lightly oil a clean bowl, add the dough and turn it over to oil all the surfaces then cover the container, and let the dough rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface and divide into 16 equal pieces; if you have a scale, they'll weigh about 2 ounces each.
• Round into smooth balls and place on the prepared sheet pan.
• Cover with a tea towel and let the rolls rise until they've doubled in size, about 45 minutes, and when you poke a finger into the side of a roll the dough doesn't immediately spring back.
• Gently brush the risen rolls with the egg wash then liberally sprinkle with your desired topping.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the rolls reads 190°F to 200° F.
• Remove the rolls from the oven, and set the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then set the rolls directly on the rack to cool.
• To freeze, double wrap in plastic.
