Dark rose rolls

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 tsp sugar
• 225 ml water, lukewarm
• 42 g yeast, fresh
• 200 g whole wheat flour
• 250 g wheat flour type 405
• 50 g wheat germ
• 2 tsp salt
• 100 g natural yogurt, room temperature
• Flour for the baking sheet
• oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 10 minutes

Makes approx. 12 rolls.

Mix the sugar with the lukewarm water. Crumble in the yeast and dissolve it. Let it rise for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the two types of flour, the wheat germ, and the salt. Add the yeast water and yogurt and knead with the dough hook for 5 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Shape the dough into a ball and brush with a little water. Cover with a plastic bag and let it rise in a preheated oven at 35°C for 45 minutes. Knead the dough with 6 turns using a food processor until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Divide into approximately 12 pieces, each weighing 75g, and place on a lightly floured surface. Lightly dust a baking sheet lined with baking paper with flour. Loosely roll each piece in your hand into a tight ball with the seam facing down and shape it into a round. Do not over-shape the dough, so that it does not completely stick together. Lightly oil the seam and place it in the flour on the baking sheet with the seam facing down. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, place plastic wrap loosely over them, and let them prove in a warm oven at 35°C for 20 minutes. Carefully turn the rolls over using a spatula so the ends are on top. This is a bit tricky. The rolls will collapse and become slightly squashed when turned, but this will even out during baking. Cover the rolls with a cloth and foil and let them prove outside the oven for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pour boiling water into the preheated pan and bake the rolls on the middle rack for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
