Recipe: Cuisinart Honey Wheat Rolls (food processor)

CUISINART HONEY WHEAT ROLLS

"These rolls have the nutty flavor of whole wheat, and a rich buttery taste with a kiss of honey."

6 ounces evaporated skim milk
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 large egg, well beaten
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
Egg glaze (1 large egg beaten with 2 teaspoons water)

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the milk to 110 degrees F and remove from the heat. Dissolve yeast and sugar in milk; let sit until foamy, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the beaten egg and reserve.

In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process flour, butter and salt until combined, about 15-20 seconds.

With the machine running, add the yeast mixture in a steady stream through the small feed tube, as fast as the flour absorbs it. After the dough forms a ball, process until smooth and elastic, about 60 seconds. Place in a large food storage bag. Squeeze out air, seal bag and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Place dough on a floured surface and punch down; let rest for 10 minutes.

Coat a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Arrange, just touching, in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free place.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (Or, if using a toaster oven: 15 minutes before baking, place rack in position "A" and preheat Cuisinart Classic Toaster Oven Broiler to 350 degrees F on Bake setting.)

Brush rolls with the egg glaze and bake until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
