Brilliant Bread Rolls with Raisins, Hazelnuts and Apricots

Hello again,

I am back after completing all my exams and back to being food-inspired.

This summer´s project is (even more) healty and delicious food. I am doing this with one of my bestfriends because it´s always easier doing it with someone right? 

So, to the actual recipe. I made this a few weeks ago when I was bored of the usual dark bread I eat for breakfast and wanted to try something new. I found this recipe on a Norwegian page where healthy carbs is all the rage nowadays and decided to give it a go. I actual halfed the recipe, but I am giving you the original one here.

For 20 bread rolls (these do well in the freezer so don´t be afraid to make this many)

Ingredients:

• 4 dl skimmed milk
• 5 dl water
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 50 g fresh yeast (This would convert to a little less than a whole small packet of dried yeast)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 350 g plain flour
• 350 g whole wheat flour (I couldn´t fint this in the store so I just doubled the plain four)
• 3 dl oatmeal
• 200 g rye flour
• 100 g sunflower seeds
• 150 g hazelnuts
• 100 g dried apricots
• 150 g raisins

Now I know this seems like a lot, but remember, you can always play around and do your own things. Don´t be a stickler for the rules, if you are missing something, just compensate with something else.

Directions:

1. Add all the dry ingredients (including the dry yeast) together in a large bowl. If you are using fresh yeast, heat the milk and water together until lukewarm and add it.
2. Chop up the nuts and dried fruit and add to the dry mixture.
3. If you have not already done so, mix the water and milk together and heat up until lukewarm, then add the canola oil and pour the liquid over the dry. Mix this together well with a wooden spoon (it makes less of a mess). The dough should be a bit sticky.
4. Cover with plasticfoil and let it raise for about 30 minutes.
5. When this is done, part the dough in equally-sized pieces and shape them into rolls. Remember that these will also raise, so don´t make them too big.
6. Put your rolls on oventray covered with greaseproof paper. Cover again for 45 minutes.
7. Pre-heat your oven to 225 C.
8. Before putting the rolls in, you can cover them with a light coat of milk or water.
9. Cook them for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Let cool for a few minutes before you dig in.

Bon Appétit!
