Whole-Wheat Rolls

(Bolillos Integral)
Category: Yeast Breads
Makes 8 rolls
When visiting Zacatecas, a colonial city, my husband and I tried some whole-wheat Mexican-style rolls from a local bakery. The rolls had a crisp crust, a soft but chewy center and a nutty flavor. I developed this from that great memory (and some notes). This is very easy and quick to make, and the dough requires no kneading. I often make them for Mexican tortas (sandwiches).


   1 1/2 cups warm water (about 120°)
   2 packages quick-rising active dry yeast
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 tablespoon sugar
   2 cups whole wheat flour
   1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1. In a large mixing bowl, put 1/2 cup of the warm water. Stir in the yeast and let stand 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 cup of water, salt, sugar, and the whole-wheat flour. Beat the dough vigorously by hand about 2 minutes. Add the all-purpose flour and mix well. The dough will be thick and sticky, so grease your hands, then form it into a ball. Place the dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size, and a dent remains when poked gently with a finger, about 45 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease an insulated baking sheet. Flour your hands and punch down the dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a fat rope. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into an oval shaped roll and taper the two ends.

3. Place rolls on the baking sheet and let rise 20 minutes. Cut a lengthwise slit in the top of each roll with a sharp, thin-bladed knife and place the baking sheet of rolls in the oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Transfer to a rack. Brush very lightly with oil. Cool. The rolls are best the day they are made or they may be frozen in a sealed plastic freezer bag up to 3 weeks.
