Homemade Rye Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg, and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Add the salt, rye flour, all-purpose flour, and caraway seeds. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 5 1/2 by 9-inch baking pan.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and invert onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough several times. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough and place in the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg lightly over the top of the dough. Bake until lightly brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

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. Add rye flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. 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.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Butter a large bowl; set aside. Put yeast, warm water, sugar, egg, and 3 tablespoons butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed 1 minute.
• Reduce mixer speed to low. Mix in salt, flours, and caraway seeds. Raise speed to medium-high, and beat until dough comes together, about 10 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer to buttered bowl. Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Using a butter knife, cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls, and space 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover dough with buttered plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut an X in the top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer rolls to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and brush with remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle tops with sea salt. Serve.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients and 1 cup all-purpose flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk, water, butter and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Stir in onion and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 18 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°., For egg wash, in a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over rolls. Bake until lightly browned, 11-14 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Let stand. Mix hot water, shortening,molasses,brown sugar,and salt. Let stand till lukewarm. Add rye flour, with the yeast mixture, and beat well.
• 2. Add the flour to make gradually to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth and elastic to the touch. Place in a lightly grease bowl. let rise till double in bulk. Place on a lightly floured board. Form into small rolls 1 1/2 x 3 inches. Place far apart on a floured pan. Brush tops of rolls with egg white mixture. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt. Let rise again till double in bulk. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.
