🍞 Hearty Spelt and Rye Rolls

These rolls are designed to be filling and have a satisfying, slightly dense crumb.

🍽️ Ingredients

Item	Amount	Notes
Spelt Flour	250 g	Whole or light spelt works well.
Rye Flour	250 g	Dark or light rye, usually whole grain for extra heartiness.
Water (lukewarm)	300 – 320 ml	Adjust slightly, as rye flour absorbs liquid differently.
Fresh Yeast	$1/2$ cube (about 21g) OR Dry Yeast	1 packet (7g or 2.25 tsp)
Salt	1 teaspoon
Sugar/Honey	1 teaspoon	To activate the yeast.
Optional: Seeds	2 tbsp	Sunflower, pumpkin, or flax seeds for topping.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preparing the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the yeast and sugar/honey into the lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, rye flour, and salt.
3. Mix the Dough: Add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed (or by hand with a wooden spoon) until the ingredients are just combined.
4. Knead: Knead the dough for 5–8 minutes using a dough hook or by hand until a smooth, slightly sticky ball forms. Rye dough will not develop gluten like wheat dough, so it will remain slightly soft and tacky.
5. First Rise (Bulk Fermentation): Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

2. Shaping and Second Rise

1. Divide and Shape: Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces (approx. 90-100g each).
2. Form Rolls: Shape each piece into a neat ball.
3. Topping (Optional): Lightly moisten the top of each roll with water and press them into a shallow dish of seeds (if using).
4. Second Rise (Proofing): Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes.Preheat your oven during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.

3. Baking

1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Bake: Bake the rolls for 18–25 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
3. Cool: Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool completely.
