How to make Oatmeal and Wheat Germ Rolls

  1. Step 1

    Warm the milk in a bowl until it’s lukewarm. Remove from heat and add the oil, fresh yeast, and sugar.

  2. Step 2

    Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.

  3. Step 3

    Add the beaten cream cheese, and the flours (previously sifted) mixed with the rolled oats, wheat germ, and salt. Knead until you form a manageable, elastic dough. This should take about 15 minutes of kneading.

  4. Step 4

    Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered with plastic wrap.

  5. Step 5

    Once risen, gently knead the dough again to release the air, then divide it into equal portions. It’s best to make small rolls.

  6. Step 6

    Place the rolls on a baking sheet that has been greased and floured.

  7. Step 7

    Allow the rolls to rise again until they double in size.

  8. Step 8

    Bake in a preheated oven at 225°C (437°F) for 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden.

  9. Step 9

    Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the milk is lukewarm and not hot, as hot milk can kill the yeast.

  2. If the dough feels too sticky while kneading, you can add a little more white flour, but do so sparingly.

  3. For a softer texture, avoid over-kneading the dough after the first rise.

  4. You can use a loaf pan instead of making rolls if you prefer a single large loaf.

  5. Serve the rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.

FAQS

  1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast?

    Yes, you can substitute fresh yeast with dry yeast. Use about 7 g of dry yeast as a replacement for 20 g of fresh yeast.

  2. Can I use a different type of flour?

    You can experiment with other flours, but the texture and flavor may vary. Whole wheat flour can be a good substitute for rye flour.

  3. How do I know if the dough has risen enough?

    The dough should double in size during the rising process. You can also perform a poke test—if the indentation remains, the dough is ready.

  4. Can I freeze the rolls?

    Yes, you can freeze the baked rolls. Allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

  5. What can I serve with these rolls?

    These rolls pair well with jam, honey, or spreadable cream cheese. They can also be served with soups or salads.
