Multi Grain Pan Rolls

• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup bulgur
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons each celery seed, fennel seed and sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in bulgur. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the oats, honey, eggs, salt, pepper, cooked bulgur and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until elastic, about 6-8 minutes (mixture will be lumpy). Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 22 pieces. Roll each into a ball.

Brush two 9-in. round baking pans with some of the oil. Arrange 11 balls in each pan; brush tops with remaining oil. Combine the celery seed, fennel seed, sesame seeds and poppy seeds; sprinkle over rolls. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 22 rolls.

Pizza Bread

• 6-7 c. white flour

• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 c. flour with 1 T. yeast and set aside.

2. Add milk, water, butter or margarine, sugar and salt to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm. Pour into large bowl with the flour and yeast. Stir or beat until well combined. Slowly work in remaining flour and Italian seasoning. Knead (by hand or with an electric mixer) until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover and let dough rise for 1 hour in a lightly greased bowl.

3. Divide dough into 2 or 3 portions, depending on how big you want your loaves to be. Roll each ball of dough into a rectangle.

4. Spread about 1/4 c. pizza sauce on each section of dough.

Simple Pull-Apart Rolls

• 1 T. + 1 t. yeast (or 2 packets)

2. While that cools, dissolve yeast in 1 c. warm water. Add to mixing bowl along with the eggs. Mix well. Stir in the salt, baking powder, baking soda and 5 1/2 c. flour until combined.

3. Working with 1/2 c. at a time, add remaining flour until dough comes together. It’s okay if the dough is still a little sticky. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes.

4. Roll the dough into evenly shaped balls, about the size of a golf ball and place into 3 round cake pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.

2. In a small bowl, briefly whisk the eggs. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate mixture to the eggs and stir to combine, just to temper the eggs. Then pour all of eggs into the pot with the melted chocolate. Stir to combine.

3. Stir in flour, vanilla and baking soda until well blended. Pour into a greased 13×9 casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes.
