Finished Einkorn dinner rolls, ready to eat!
- Add the remaining 1/2 Cup of milk, egg, and egg yolk and whisk to combine.
- Put all these liquid ingredients into a standing mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Add 2 Cups of White Einkorn Flour (My baking tips for einkorn teaches how to make white einkorn flour.)
- Then add your 1 tsp of salt.
- Mix on low and add all of your butter 2 tbsps at a time. Make sure it’s completely mixed in before you add the next 2 tbsp.
- Add your remaining 1 1/4 Cup High Extraction Einkorn flour.
- Change your paddle attachment our for your dough hook and knead it on low for 4 minutes.
- Grease a bowl generously with either butter or olive oil and turn your dough into the bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to rise until doubled. It took about 90 minutes for me.
- Lightly grease two cake pans.
- Cut the dough into equal portions. For me I weighed them at 2 ounces each and it ended up being 18 portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball. I roll them against the counter to make them smooth.
- Place 7 of the balls of dough around the outside of the circle and then two in the inside.
- Place the pans inside a large garbage bag and then place a glass of hot water between the two of them so that the bag never touches the rolls. Tuck the ends of the garbage bag under the pans.
- Let them rise 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove your rolls from the bags and bake them for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let them cool for 5-7 minutes and then separate the rolls and serve them warm!
- Enjoy! They are delicious!
Einkorn Rolls Rising
My rolls were extremely soft and they all became one large roll in my pan. I put in all the ingredients. What do you suggest?
Is it 3/4 tsp salt or 1 tsp salt? Instructions state differently than ingredients. Also, should the butter be melted or just softened? And one more: my mixer does not have a paddle attachment; I’m not even sure what that is, but all mine has is a couple styles of whisks and dough hook. Do you suppose the dough hook will work for the entire job? Thank you if will answer these questions. I cannot wait to try these rolls!
A suggestion: For 3 -1/2 cups of flour only 1 teaspoon of yeast is necessary. It will be a tastier bread with less yeast flavor AND the rise will be the same, but maybe a little slower, so wait two hours.
What type of yeast does the recipe amount refer to?
Hello, the person who created this no longer works here, so I don’t know for sure what she used, but since there is a yeast proving period, I would recommend active dry yeast. If you just have instant, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it.
