Recipe

• In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey/maple syrup, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, Bagrry's Oat Bran, and salt.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough is formed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm draft-free place for about 1 hour or until its doubled in size.
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball, roll them into required shape & size and then place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
• Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they have doubled in size.
• While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with a little water and sprinkle on some sesame seeds pumpkin seeds or rolled oats for extra flavor and texture.
• Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool down on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Oat Bran Bread Rolls!
