Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 200 grams Rye flour
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, whole wheat flour, and rye flour to the yeast mixture. If using caraway seeds, add them at this stage as well.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more whole wheat flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 7

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffed up.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 9

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
