Ingredients

• 500 grams Whole wheat flour
• 14 grams Instant yeast
• 10 grams Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 240 milliliters Warm water
• 30 grams Honey
• 1 tablespoon Milk or almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and add the extra virgin olive oil, warm water, and honey. Whisk these wet ingredients together until the honey is dissolved.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has doubled, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, shaping each piece into a small round ball.

Step 7

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the dough balls on the baking sheet, ensuring they have space to rise further.

Step 8

Cover the baking sheet with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with the milk or almond milk. Gently brush this egg wash over the top of each roll.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds over the rolls as desired.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top.

Step 13

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free challah rolls!
