Hi Bryanna,

Over the years, at one time I think I remember you mentioning a bread recipe for "soft" rolls - am I remembering correctly? I am not sure, but I thought I saw a recipe for soft rolls somewhere. I am looking for a recipe that I can make my own hero rolls but with a soft crust. Do you (or anyone else) know of any recipes like this?

Peace~

Silvia, this was in one of the newsletters, I forget which one. Would this work?

BRYANNA’S FLUFFY BUT HIGH-FIBER HAMBURGER AND HOTDOG BUNS
Makes 8 hot dog buns or 6 hamburger buns (can double recipe)

Mix and rise on dough cycle in bread machine or knead by hand or bread-mixer and let rise 1 hour (if you mix by hand, dissolve yeast in water first):

1 c. warm potato cooking water OR warm water with 1/2 T. potato starch or 1 T. instant potato flakes
1/2 T. lemon juice
2 T. oil
2 T. vegan sugar
1 and 1/2 c. stone ground whole wheat flour
about 1 and 1/4 c. unbleached white flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 T. wheat bran
2 T. soy flour or chickpea flour
2 T. oat bran
2 T. ground flax seed
1/2 T. dry active yeast

Topping:
Soymilk (or other nondairy milk) for glazing tops
OPTIONAL: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or dried onions
cornmeal to sprinkle on the baking sheets

Hamburger Buns: divide into 6 pieces, flatten and stretch each piece into a circle about 4” in diameter and place on a greased cookie sheet that has cornmeal sprinkled on it. You can also divide into 8 pieces, if you prefer a smaller bun. Allow to rise for about 40 minutes, brush with soymilk, and sprinkle with optional seeds, or dried onions, if you like. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Hot Dog Buns: divide into 8 pieces, roll between your hands until you have a 6 inch rope (or long enough for your favorite brand of veggie” wieners” or “sausages”), place on a sheet with cornmeal sprinkled on it. These should be placed fairly close together, so they will rise more up than out. Let the buns rise for 30 minutes or until a nice hotdog bun shape. brush with soymilk, and sprinkle with optional seeds, or dried onions, if you like. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on a rack—if you like soft buns, cover with a clean tea towel as they cool.

Thanks Bryanna! This looks like it will work - I'll just shape them into hero rolls.
Peace~
