delicious whole-grain snack rolls

First, prepare the yeast dough. Combine the dough ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead by hand, with a hand mixer, or in a food processor for 5-10 minutes. No pre-dough is necessary! Form the dough into a ball, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about an hour until it has doubled in size. You can also let it rise in the refrigerator overnight, which is very convenient! Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thick. Mix the crème fraîche with the milk or cream until smooth and spread evenly over the dough, leaving about 5 cm free around the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Distribute the fried onions over the dough, along with the grated Gouda cheese. Unroll the dough and, using a dough scraper, cut out approximately 1.5 cm thick slices, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You will need two baking sheets for this amount. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 50°C. Once all the snails are in place (you’ll need about 22), spray them generously with water. Decorate each snail with sesame seeds and then place them in the oven for an hour to rise until large and fluffy. Turn off the oven during this process. After an hour, spray with water again, then increase the oven temperature to 180°C fan-assisted or 200°C conventional. In a fan-assisted oven, you can bake both trays at the same time! The delicious spelt snails will be ready after about 20 minutes. Notes: They taste best about an hour after baking. If you have any leftovers the next day, which is very unlikely, you can bake them in the oven at 200°C. Spray them with water again beforehand!
