Sharing breakfast ideas, today’s suggestion from Urban Cooking Recipes is a recipe for making oatmeal and wheat germ rolls. You can serve them with jam, honey, or even cream cheese in any form—they are truly delightful. Both oatmeal and wheat germ provide the body with a great amount of fiber, and these rolls are so simple to make. There’s no need for pre-made sourdough; they only take the time required to rise before baking. However,...

Warm the milk in a bowl until it’s lukewarm. Remove from heat and add the oil, fresh yeast, and sugar.
Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
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.
Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered with plastic wrap.
Once risen, gently knead the dough again to release the air, then divide it into equal portions. It’s best to make small rolls.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet that has been greased and floured.
Allow the rolls to rise again until they double in size.
Bake in a preheated oven at 225°C (437°F) for 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Ensure the milk is lukewarm and not hot, as hot milk can kill the yeast.
If the dough feels too sticky while kneading, you can add a little more white flour, but do so sparingly.
For a softer texture, avoid over-kneading the dough after the first rise.
You can use a loaf pan instead of making rolls if you prefer a single large loaf.
Serve the rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
