Servings:
Ingredients
Rolls
- 2 ½ Cups spelt flour
- ½ Cups all-purpose flour
- ½ Cups wheat germ
- 1 package (7 grams) yeast
- ½ Tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ Cup honey
- 1 stick butter softened
- 4 eggs
- ¼ Cup 2% milk
- ¼ Cup half and half
Egg Wash (you will not use all of this):
- 1 egg white
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon water
Whipped Maple Butter
- 1 Cup cream
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk spelt flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine honey, butter, and eggs in a large mixer bowl with a wooden spoon (some butter lumps should remain).
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment on speed one until just blended, stopping several times to scrape sides and bottom with spatula.
- Add milk and half and half and continue mixing with dough hook on speed one until blended in. Scrape sides and bottom with a spatula to ensure all ingredients have mixed.
- Cover bowl lightly with plastic wrap and let rest 2 hrs. Then, refrigerate for an additional 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Lightly spray mini-muffin pans with pan spray. Form each roll by rolling and placing 1 ¼" diameter ball into each muffin cup. You may want to coat your hands with flour periodically to keep dough from sticking. Lightly cover with a piece of parchment paper and let rest 10 minutes.
- While rolls are resting, mix egg wash by combining all egg wash ingredients in a small bowl and whisk with a fork.
- Lightly brush top of each roll with egg wash. Bake about 10 minutes until lightly brown.
- While rolls are baking, make maple butter by adding cream and salt to a large mixing bowl. Blend with mixer starting on low speed and increasing in speed as cream thickens. Once cream is slightly thicker than whip cream, add maple syrup and continue mixing on high until texture thickens and increases in texture. Entire process will take approximately 7-10 minutes.
- After removing rolls from oven, let cool 5 min in pans and then dump. If any rolls stick, gently loosen with a butter knife.
