servings: 6
total time: 3 hours
recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup plus 1 TBSP warm water
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus a little extra
Directions
- Beat the 3 large eggs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the 1/2 cup water and yeast to the beaten eggs and stir together.
- Add the flours, salt, and 1/4 of oil to the bowl and stir until well combined and a dough is formed.
- Lightly oil a flat work surface then knead the dough by hand for a few minutes (the dough will be sticky, if you need to add a little more oil to your hands or the work surface as you knead).
- Transfer the dough to a large clean bowl then loosely cover the bowl and set aside to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal size pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time roll the dough into a rope roughly 12-inches long. Tie the dough rope into a knot. Place the knotted dough roll onto a baking sheet and continue this same process with the remaining dough pieces keeping the rolls at least 1-inch away from each other on the baking sheet.
- Use your hands to lightly flatten the rolls until they are round and roughly 3-inches in diameter.
- Beat the egg yolk with 1 TBSP water and use a little to brush the top of the rolls (just enough to cover the tops, you wont use all the egg wash).
- Let the rolls sit and rise, uncovered, in a warm place for about 1 more hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are browned on top, about 25 minutes.
- Take the rolls out of the oven and allow to cool then split horizontally and use for burgers or sandwiches.
