These yeasted rolls are easy to make and look great with all the different seed toppings. They’re also convenient to have on hand in the freezer – just throw a couple in the microwave for a minute and they’re almost as good as fresh from the oven.

The finished product
Seeded Rolls
50% whole grain wheat, 50% white wheat flour
2.5% salt
yeast
milk
seeds for topping
Mix all the dry ingredients; add as much milk as necessary to achieve desired consistency; knead until gluten is developed. Rise for about 1h, then place in fridge over night. Next day, give the dough a few folds and let it rise again. Scale to desired size; shape and dip the top of each roll in a bowl of seeds. Proof the rolls, then slash and bake.

I’ve been trying my hand at bread in different forms over the last few months (with some occasional success) and that looks like an interesting recipe. I’ll have to give it a go in the next day or two I think so thanks for the idea :)
You can adjust the percentage of white flour up or down to make a lighter or more dense roll. Wetter dough also generally yields a more open crumb than a tight dough.
Good luck.
Those are gorgeous! What, out of curiosity, are the 13 vegetables?
Years ago we were driving through Seattle when out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a marquee announcing an act titled “Thirteen Vegetables”. Intriguing … but at second glance it was actually something quite different. Somehow the phrase stuck though, and when we were looking for a name we went with it. Serendipitously, we were just starting a new garden at the time and when we counted our vegetables … there were 13. Coincidence? Ich don’t think so.
I like it! I also liked your list of garden successes from this year. I always like to know what other people can achieve in this part of the world. :) Maybe I’ll try celeriac this year!
