I started make these rolls in the 1960s because my children liked their meat or cheese separate from their bread, explains Ruthelaine Hoolsema of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sometimes I add poppy seeds or use rye flour instead of wheat flour and add caraway seeds.
Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup mashed potatoes (made with fat-free milk)
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
4 teaspoons fat-free milk
4 teaspoons toasted wheat germ
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the mashed potatoes, butter, sugar, molasses, egg, salt and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray and sprinkle with cornmeal; set aside. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 18 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4. Brush rolls with milk; sprinkle with wheat germ. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
