We are trying to eat more whole grains and I love the 9 grain cereal for that reason. So what grains are in it?
Hard red wheat, hard white wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, millet, hulled buckwheat, and flax seed.
9 Grain Cracked Cereal and Oatmeal Rolls-these rolls have a slightly nutty taste.
Ingredients:
3 cups boiling water
2/3 cup cracked wheat
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup butter
3 tsp salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups unbleached flour (part whole wheat may be used)
4 Tbs yeast
Directions:
In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand or bread mixer (such as a KitchenAid or Bosch) - combine cracked wheat, oats, honey, butter, and salt.
Pour boiling water over the top of these ingredients, and pulse a few times.
Let stand to cool to 120° to 130° - about 15 minutes (the right temperature for yeast to be added)
Add 2 cups flour and the undissolved yeast.
Pulse till combined.
Add enough additional flour to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Continue kneading/mixing for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from bowl and lightly dust with flour. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 24 pieces. I use a kitchen scale to make sure my rolls are the same size. I make my rolls using 2 oz of dough. Roll each portion of dough into a snake. The flatten slightly. Roll up and place in a greased muffin tin.
Cover and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size - about 1 hour (depending on the season and the warmth of your kitchen)
Preheat oven to 375°. Place in center of oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Check during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove from oven and brush top with butter.
