Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ Cup Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Yeast
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 4 Cups Einkorn All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 med Egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted, ( to brush on after baking)

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan on the stove, warm the milk.  Test it on your wrist, it should be the same temperature as your skin.  If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast, let it cool down before adding it.
  • In a small bowl, combine the yeast and the sugar.  Add warm milk and stir until dissolved. Let the yeast mixture sit for a few minutes. (should be frothy)
  • You can mix and knead this recipe by hand but a mixer is much quicker.  Add half of the flour and the salt to a mixer and add the yeast mixture.  Turn the mixer on low and mix until the flour is combined.  Keep on mixing while adding the remaining flour in, a ¼ cup at a time until. When the  dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer, stop adding flour.  This is when you know you have added enough flour.  (It's okay if you have flour remaining.)
  • Turn the mixer off and let the dough raise until double.  (**One way to make this happen quicker is to turn the oven on warm for a few minutes. Let the oven warm up just until warm, not hot, turn the oven off and let your dough raise in there.  It will speed up the process.)
  • Once the dough has raised to double, Mix again and add in remaining flour ¼ cup at a time to get the dough to pull away from the edges of the bowl again.  Let the dough raise till double again.
  • Once your dough is done raising, sprinkle remaining flour on your counter and use to hand knead the dough.  using a knife or a pizza cutter, divide dough into 15 pieces of dough.  
  • Using your hands, shape dough into evenly shaped balls and place in the baking dish. 
  • Mix up the egg wash by breaking adding an egg to a small bowl with one Tablespoon of water and beat until combined. Brush the dough balls with egg wash using a pastry brush.
  • Spray a 9 by 13" baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Let the rolls rise in a warm place until double.  Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. 
  • Brush with melted butter using a pastry brush. Enjoy!
