Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm milk
• 2 TBSP. honey
• 2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
• 2 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cups all purpose einkorn flour
• 1 tsp. salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Heat the milk up to around 110 f. You don't want it to warm or it will kill the yeast.
• In a large bowl combine the yeast, warm milk and honey. Whisk it together and let it sit 5-10 minutes until it bubbles.
• In another bowl, add in the einkorn flour, and salt and whisk it together.
• After the yeast has proofed add in the oil (you can also swap for 2 tablespoons of melted butter).
• Finally, one cup at a time add in the flour until all 4 cups of flour have been used. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to knead in the flour until it is combined.
• Once you have the flour completely combined cover the bowl with a light towel and let the dough rest for 2 hours. You want this to happen in a warm place, so you can set by a window, or on top of an oven if it is on. Just be sure it isn't too warm.
• After 2 hours and the dough has doubled in size punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Split the dough into 12 equal pieces. You can either pull it apart, or I find using a pizza cutter works great!
• Roll the pieces into little balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet for their second rise. Place a light weight towel over top and set in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes for their second rise.
• Preheat the oven to 375 and once they have completed their second rise, place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The tops will be golden brown when they are done.
• If you are serving right away, you can brush some melted butter on top. You can get creative and sprinkle the tops with either everything but the bagel seasoning, or for a sweet flavor a little bit of coconut sugar and cinnamon.

These rolls have become a staple in our house.  A few times a month I will make a double batch and freeze them, so we can enjoy throughout the month!

Don’t let the thought of homemade bread intimidate you.  These Homemade Einkorn Flour Yeasted Bread Rolls are super simple to make and while they rise you can spend your time doing other chores.  Often people don’t make homemade bread because it goes stale rather quickly on the shelf, but our tip for that is simply pop them in the freezer.  Store bought bread is one of the foods that typically has a lot of preservatives to make it shelf stable longer.  As you know, our entire goal here at Healthier Homemade is to eliminate as many preservatives as possible.  Making your own fluffy einkorn dinner rolls will help you do just that.

With this simple recipe you can have your own homemade rolls within a few hours. If you have never made bread before, don’t let the timing scare you.  Much of the time is spent allowing the rolls to rise- where the yeast is doing the work so you don’t have to. With a few simple ingredients you will have homemade rolls in the comfort of your own kitchen.  Is there anything better than a house filled with the smell of baking bread?

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups warm milk
• 2 TBSP. honey
• 2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
• 2 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cups all purpose einkorn flour
• 1 tsp. salt

Making the Homemade Einkorn Flour Yeasted Bread Rolls

To start this recipe, heat the milk up to around 110 f.  You don’t want it to warm or it will kill the yeast.  In a large bowl combine the yeast, warm milk and honey. Whisk it together and let it sit 5-10 minutes until it bubbles.  In another bowl, add in the einkorn flour, and salt and whisk it together.  If you are new to using einkorn flour and are wondering where to purchase it from, my favorite brand is jovial foods. After the yeast has proofed add in the oil (you can also swap for 2 tablespoons of melted butter).  Finally, one cup at a time add in the flour until all 4 cups of flour have been used.  Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to knead in the flour until it is combined.

If you don’t want to do this by hand, you can always use a dough hook but for this recipe I prefer just combining it by hand. For this recipe, you will do two rises.  The first rise will take place right in the bowl.  Once you have the flour completely combined cover the bowl with a light towel and let the dough rest for 2 hours. You want this to happen in a warm place, so you can set by a window, or on top of an oven if it is on. Just be sure it isn’t too warm.

After 2 hours and the dough has doubled in size punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.  Split the dough into 12 equal pieces.  You can either pull it apart, or I find using a pizza cutter works great!  Roll the pieces into little balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet for their second rise.  Place a light weight towel over top and set in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes for their second rise.

Preheat the oven to 375 and once they have completed their second rise, place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The tops will be golden brown when they are done.  If you are serving right away, you can brush some melted butter on top.  You can get creative and sprinkle the tops with either everything but the bagel seasoning, or for a sweet flavor a little bit of coconut sugar and cinnamon.

Enjoying the Rolls

The best part of this recipe is the fact you can easily make it ahead of time and freeze so you will always have homemade dinner rolls on hand.  To do this, be sure to have the rolls cooled down to room temperature.  Place the rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze for an hour.  Then, place in a freezer safe Ziploc bag.

If you need a yeast roll recipe, we hope you love this one. By using einkorn flour it is much more nutritious than your typical all purpose flour and easier on your digestive system.  These are the perfect addition to a soup or pasta dish like these:
