Ingredients:
- 380 g flour
- 55 g wheat bran
- 375 ml buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 12 g fresh yeast
- 200 g diced bacon
- 150 g grated cheese
- 75 g seed mix (flax seeds, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin)
Step by step for perfect rolls:
1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, sift the flour and wheat bran. This step is essential to ensure a fine dough texture.
2. Activating the yeast: Warm the buttermilk until it becomes lukewarm - just enough to hold a finger in it without burning. Add the sugar, salt, crumbled yeast, and olive oil. Mix well until the yeast is completely dissolved. It is important not to use milk that is too hot, as it could kill the yeast.
3. Mixing the ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the lightly beaten egg with a fork, along with the milk and yeast mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
4. Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it no longer sticks to your hands. If it is too sticky, you can add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it, or the rolls will be tough.
5. Rising the dough: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
6. Preparing the bacon: While the dough is rising, you can fry the bacon for a few minutes in a dry pan, without oil. This will intensify the flavor and taste of the bacon. Make sure not to cook it too much, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
7. Shaping the rolls: After the dough has risen, knead it again to release the air and divide it into two equal parts. Roll out each piece into a rectangle on a floured surface.
8. Filling: Evenly sprinkle the fried bacon, grated cheese, and seed mix over each rectangle of dough. When choosing the seeds, you can experiment with combinations that you like best.
9. Rolling and cutting: Roll each sheet tightly, then cut the roll into pieces about 2 cm thick. These will be your delicious rolls.
10. Rising the rolls: Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and let them rise for 15 minutes in a warm place.
11. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and browned. For a special appearance and aroma, you can brush them with a beaten egg before placing them in the oven.
12. Serving: These rolls are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a fresh green salad or with a yogurt sauce to add a refreshing note.
Practical tips:
- If you want to keep the rolls for several days, you can freeze them. Just let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag. You can quickly reheat them in the oven before serving.
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace the bacon with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
Nutritional benefits:
These rolls are rich in protein due to the bacon and cheese, and the addition of wheat bran provides extra fiber, beneficial for digestion. The seeds add healthy fats and essential micronutrients.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast?
Yes, you can substitute fresh yeast with dry yeast. About 4 g of dry yeast is equivalent to 12 g of fresh yeast.
2. How can I make these rolls healthier?
You can use whole wheat flour for a higher fiber content and reduce the amount of bacon or replace it with a leaner option.
3. What drinks pair well with these rolls?
These rolls are excellent alongside a dry white wine or a pale beer. Additionally, a cold green tea or an orange juice could perfectly complement the flavors.
Now that you have all the necessary information, all that’s left is to get cooking! These rolls with cheese, bacon, and seed mix are a fantastic choice for any occasion and will surely impress everyone who savors them. Enjoy!
