Soaked White Whole Wheat Yeast Buns/Rolls

What's Cookin'?


I tweaked this recipe and it worked!  Dd specifically requested yeast rolls for some apple/ground meat patties I was making.  I wanted it soaked but I wanted it to be yeast rolls.  I only had one egg in the house so I just left it out of the recipe and hoped for the best - it did fine without the egg.  


Ingredients:


2 C White whole wheat flour
3/4 C liquid [1/4 or more whey] [I used about 2/3 C whey because I had a quart on-hand from my last
                batch of yogurt that I've been drinking (for glutathione production) and the rest I made up with 
                water][If I didn't have whey I would add about a tablespoon of yogurt to the water to make 3/4]
2 Tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil (my CO is liquid at room temp right now in the summer)
1 teaspoon Real Salt (this link has free shipping)
3 teaspoons Yeast
2 Tablespoons Raw honey (local)
1/2 C (approx.) unbleached all-purpose flour (for sprinkling in while kneading)


Directions:


The night before, mix the white whole wheat flour, liquid, and butter/oil into a ball.  Cover it with a damp cloth.


The next morning add the other ingredients (except the all-purpose flour).  After it is well mixed, flour your surface with the all-purpose flour and begin kneading, adding more flour as it gets sticky.  Knead for about 6 minutes.  Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, for 10 minutes.


Shape into buns and put on a greased baking pan/sheet.  Let rise until double in size (I stick it in my cold oven or if I'm in a hurry I turn the oven light on).  Bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes (depends on your oven - mine cooks slower).


The first time I made 20 very small buns for my tiny patties (I'm getting 3 meals out of those patties from one pound of beef).  Today I'm making 8 buns so they should be more like hamburger-size buns.  As I was kneading it this morning I realized that I was pouring my multitude of worries into it and made a conscious switch to spend that time kneading thinking about positive things in my life, being grateful, and meditating on God's loving Divine Mercy.  It totally changed my day around.

This site has free study guides.  With high school lit I'm having more success searching for "study guides" than "lesson plans."  I'm currently pre-viewing To Kill a Mockingbird for their American Lit and found this:

Here is a movie review for a movie I would love to go see.  It's about the Cristero rebellion during the horrific persecution of Catholics in Mexico.
