EASY RYE SANDWICH ROLLS



Easy Rye Sandwich Rolls image

Delicious rolls for any type sandwich.

Provided by Joe Boyle

Categories     yeast bread

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon active dry yeast (11 grams)
3/4 cup water (6 ounces) ((110°F))
pinch granulated sugar
3/4 cup kosher dill pickle juice (6 ounces) ((110°F))
1 cup medium or light rye flour (106 grams)
1 cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour (113 grams)
2 cups bread flour, divided (240 grams)
1-1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt (9 grams)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar (18 grams)
1/4 cup oil (2 fluid ounces) ((canola, vegetable, safflower))
1 egg (, beaten with a teaspoon of water)
desired seeds

Steps:

  • Add the warm water and yeast to a large bowl with a pinch of sugar and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the rye flour, the whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of the bread flour, the salt, and the sugar.
  • Add those dry ingredients and the warm dill pickle juice to the yeast mixture and beat well for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is stringy but smooth.
  • Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the oil, then add the remaining 1-1/2 cups of bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough is so stiff that you can't stir in anymore flour, start kneading it in by hand, either in the bowl or on a countertop.
  • Knead for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth; don't add any more flour as that will make the rolls dry.
  • Lightly oil a clean bowl, add the dough and turn it over to oil all the surfaces then cover the container, and let the dough rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface and divide into 16 equal pieces; if you have a scale, they'll weigh about 2 ounces each.
  • Round into smooth balls and place on the prepared sheet pan.
  • Cover with a tea towel and let the rolls rise until they've doubled in size, about 45 minutes, and when you poke a finger into the side of a roll the dough doesn't immediately spring back.
  • Gently brush the risen rolls with the egg wash then liberally sprinkle with your desired topping.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the rolls reads 190°F to 200° F.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven, and set the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then set the rolls directly on the rack to cool.
  • To freeze, double wrap in plastic.

HOMEMADE RYE BREAD



Homemade Rye Bread image

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 envelope (1/4-ounce) dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees F)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup rye flour
2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg, and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Add the salt, rye flour, all-purpose flour, and caraway seeds. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 5 1/2 by 9-inch baking pan.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and invert onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough several times. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough and place in the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg lightly over the top of the dough. Bake until lightly brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

Yield Makes 16 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 14

For rolls:
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 scant cup warm water (105-115°F), divided
3/4 teaspoon sugar
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus more for kneading and dusting
1/3 cup light or dark rye flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
For rye-crisp tops:
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons light or dark rye flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Stir together yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, and sugar in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
  • Stir flours, salt, and remaining scant 3/4 cup water into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with lightly floured hands until dough is elastic and smooth but still supple and slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
  • Put dough in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise in a draft- free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Make rolls:
  • Punch down dough (do not knead). Remove from bowl and fold into thirds like a letter. Divide into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball, transferring to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and loosely covering with plastic wrap (or towel). Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly brush each ball of dough with some of egg white. Gently lay a round of rye-crisp dough, egg-wash side up, on top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.
  • Make rye-crisp tops while rolls rise:
  • Stir together flours and salt, then stir in water and oil until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times. Divide into 16 very small pieces. Roll out each piece on lightly floured surface to a thin round (about 2 inches; shape need not be perfectly round) and arrange in 1 layer on a sheet of parchment.
  • Beat egg white with a pinch of salt and lightly brush some of it onto rounds. Let stand, uncovered, to dry slightly while rolls rise.
  • Assemble and bake rolls:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
  • Lightly brush each ball of dough with some of egg white. Gently lay a round of rye-crisp dough, egg-wash side up, on top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • When preparing the sourdough starter, ensure you use equal amounts of rye flour and water. This will create a balanced and flavorful starter.
  • Allow sufficient time for the starter to develop. It usually takes around 7-10 days, depending on the temperature. Keep the starter in a warm place and feed it regularly with equal amounts of rye flour and water.
  • Use a digital scale to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure consistent results and help you achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. However, it will take longer and require more effort.
  • Be patient during the rising process. The dough needs time to develop its full flavor.
  • When baking the rolls, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
