I'm wanting to make rolls. I must say that I am a very lazy baker!!! I like the Artisan in 5 books. I recently purchased the Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes a Day cookbook and I'm thinking of using the whole wheat Challah recipe to make dinner rolls. I've never tasted Challah before. Is it supposed to be sweet? I don't mind a slight sweetness to dinner rolls, but I prefer not to have a desert bread roll.
Here's the recipe in a nutshell:
5 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
3 cups lukewarm water
1/4 cup neutral flavored oil or butter
1/2 cup honey
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
egg wash
poppy seeds
So, I'm planning to leave out the vanilla and poppy seeds. I'm thinking of decreasing the honey by half.
What do you think? Is Challah normally sweet? I want to use this recipe because I believe it will be light and airy. Of course, I'm not against just winging it, but I'd like some input if you have any.
Thanks,
ttb
