Wholemeal Seeded rolls
Rarely do I make anything other than a round or rectangular loaf of bread: time for a change! I am trying to incorporate healthier ingredients into my baking at the moment and seeds make a healthy and very tasty addition to bread (and flapjacks!).
Replacing some of the wheat flour with spelt flour is a good way to use different grains, and by using part wholemeal flour the rolls have added fibre. You could use any combination of seeds but for these rolls I chose to use mixed seeds – pumpkin, sunflower, linseed, hemp and sesame.
You could make these with all wholemeal flour but you would need to increase the amount of liquid and they might be a little dense. You could also use white spelt and wholemeal spelt flour, but the texture of the rolls would be slightly different: I find it more crumbly and cakey.
Recipe
Ingredients
250g wholemeal spelt flour
250g strong white wheat flour or white spelt flour
9g salt
7g dried yeast
335ml water
About 25g mixed seeds
Method
Put the flours into a large bowl and add the salt to one side and the yeast to the other.
Add the water and mix well.
Turn out and knead for 5-10 minutes, until silky and smooth.
Put into an oiled bowl and cover with cling film or a tea towel for at least an hour or until doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold the dough repeatedly in on itself and form into a ball.
Divide into 10-12 pieces.
Form into balls and flatten slightly.
Brush the tops with water and dip in the seeds.
Place on an oiled baking tray and cover. Leave for around 45 minutes or until doubled in size again. If you make them in the evening you can leave them overnight in the fridge and bake them first thing in the morning:
Ready to go into the oven
Heat the oven to 250ºC.
Put the rolls into the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 220ºC.
Bake for around 15 minutes or until golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Move onto a wire rack to cool.

These rolls are delicious for breakfast with jam and also for lunch with cheese or soup.
They also freeze well and are very handy to have in the freezer!

OK, thanks very much – not very good with Pinterest, will look into it!
When you are on the page where you add your posts, on the left sidebar there should be a sub-option that says “share.” From there you can add a Pinterest share button which would allow your readers to Pin your blog posts to their Pinterest page.
Hope that helps.

That’s brilliant, thanks very much – have just added it. Thanks!
Marvelous bake! I like it! =)
Thanks!
These look very attractive. I love the seed topping! I like using spelt flour in breads as well – I find it just gives a slightly nutty taste which I really like.
That’s a great way to describe spelt flour. Thanks very much for stopping by!
Now to convince the children to eat them ! They look so good I’m sure it won’t be a problem ! Love spelt !
Yum! I am terrible at making bread but these rolls look so delicious, I might just give them a try regardless! Spelt is a fantastic flour. I’ve been using it a lot recently as I love the flavour and texture. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks very much and sure your bread is delicious!
