Danish seeded bread rolls...

 


my sister sent me these via insta. i managed to find the original poster on you tube but unless you understand danish or have a handsome danish viking neighbour better utilise google translate, lol. although on second thoughts a handsome viking might come in handy! still it is worthwhile to watch her demonstrate how she makes them. some time and effort and you will have a dozen buns that will taste as delicious as they look. 

this recipe requires a little patience, to make the mixture is easy enough but you must put it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, better still, make it the night before and bake them when you get home or wait for a lazy sunday to fill your kitchen with the divine smell of freshly baked rolls.

also this is not a dough you can shape by hand, just slap it on to the tray i used a large serving spoon and made 12 rolls baked in two batches. if you follow this recipe to a t then you will be buttering them in no time.just a word of warning... if you have teenage sons then best hide a few for later or you will most likely never get to taste one, hee-hee...eli 6, isaac 2, moi 1...rest given away.

DANISH SEED BREAD ROLLS…

ingredients

10gms dry yeast

100 gms grated veggies…50 carrot/50 zucchini

300 gms Greek yoghurt

125 gms rolled oats

100 gms wholemeal plain flour

500ml  cold water

500gms bread flour

200gms mixed seeds/kernels…i used pumpkin, sunflower,

sesame and poppy

1 ½ tspns salt

method

place yeast, veggies, yoghurt, wholemeal flour, salt, rolled oats and water into a bowl, mix thoroughly, add bread flour and mix well. place bowl in fridge covered for at least 8 hours or better still overnight.

ensure oven is heated to maximum temp 240-250 C.

line a tray with baking paper. when oven is sufficiently heated, use a large serving spoon, like a salad server, dip in hot water and place mounds of dough on tray. this mixture should make about 12, so 6 at a time on a large oven tray if you have a 900mm oven. place 100ml of water in bottom tray or a cake tin on bottom shelf for steam and put buns in oven and bake for 20 mins, place on cooling rack. bake the next 6 or place dough in fridge and bake another batch the following day.

* I have discovered that mysecond batch needed some longer cooking time. After 20 mins check one of the rolls and if it is still slightly under cooked bake for qnother 5 mins.
