Servings 15 dinner rolls

Equipment

  • stand mixer with dough hook
  • baking sheet and casserole dish

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup warm water 120g
  • 1 cup whole milk, scaleded and cooled until just warm 240g
  • 2 tbsp raw cane sugar 25g
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp organic instant yeast 3g
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3 cups all purpose Kamut (khorasan) flour, divided in half (1½ cups each portion) 400g
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or salted butter 25g
  • tsp sea salt 9g

After baking

  • 2-3 tbsp butter, melted for brushing the tops of the cooked rolls

Instructions
 

  • Scald milk over medium heat, then set aside to cool.
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the water, milk (slightly warm still), egg, sugar, honey, instant yeast, and 1½ cups of kamut flour.
    Mix for 1-2 minutes on low speed until it forms a batter.
  • Let the batter sit for 30 minutes with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap placed over the bowl.

After the 30 minute rest

  • After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, add the avocado oil, salt, and the other 1½ cups of kamut flour to the bowl of the stand mixer.
  • Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes with the mixer on medium-low speed, or knead 6-7 minutes by hand.
    The dough will be soft and moist, but not overly sticky.
  • Cover the dough and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, in a warm, draft-free area.

After the 2nd rise

  • Butter a baking sheet or casserole dish.
    After the dough has risen for about 1 hour, dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold the dough into the middle a few times until it forms a ball.
    Cut the dough into roughly 15 rolls using a dough scraper or knife.
  • Place the rolls in 3 rows of 5 onto the buttered baking sheet or casserole dish.
    Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls have doubled in size.
  • After the rolls have doubled, bake them in the oven preheated to 350℉ for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
    Brush the top of the rolls with melted butter and serve warm.
