Cumin Bread Rolls A B M Recipes

CUMIN BREAD ROLLS (A B M)

Steps:

• Place first 8 ingredients in bread pan in order given as indicated by your bread machine manual.
• Set bread machine for DOUGH cycle.
• Toast the cumin seeds for about 5 minutes in a clean, dry skillet then set aside to cool.
• Once dough is ready, place in an lightly oiled heat-proof bowl and set in warm location. Let rise for about 45 minutes or until double in size.
• Transfer dough to lightly floured board and knead it about 10 times. Butter muffin tins.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Punch down dough and divide in half. Cut each half into 12 equal pieces. Dip each dough piece in the melted butter.
• Now pull and stretch the dough ball into a 6"-8" long rope. (It won't be perfectly shaped, and that's okay.) Tie the "rope" into a simple knot and tuck the ends under. Repeat until all rolls are shaped.
• Place the rolls in buttered muffin tin. Brush rolls with egg glaze. Sprinkle each roll with the toasted cumin seeds. Let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Bake until light brown, about 14-15 minutes.
• Remove from muffin tin and serve with a smile.

INCREDIBLE SOFT DINNER ROLLS (ABM)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread machine in the order according to manufacturers directions.
• Select dough cycle.
• When cycle is complete, remove dough from pan.
• Cover and let rest for 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.
• Grease a large cookie sheet.
• Divide dough into four parts, then cut each part into 5 pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball and place 2" apart on cookie sheet.
• Cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Heat oven to 375° and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter.
• Serve warm or cool on wire rack.
• Notes: Do not use delay cycle on your bread machine.
• For rolls with soft sides, place rolls close together on cookie sheet and let rise.

CUMIN BREAD

Steps:

• Scald the milk. Add honey, oil, salt and cumin seed. Add orange juice (it will curdle) and cool to lukewarm.
• In mixer bowl combine yeast and warm water with sugar and let sit until bubbly.
• Add milk/juice mixture. Add 3 cups unbleached white flour in 1/2 cup increments and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Mix and rough sift the rye and whole wheat flour to remove coarse bran hulls (which are in homeground but probably not in store bought) and when the 2 minutes are up, add the combined rye and whole wheat flours in half cup increments (this method of adding the flour is important unless you want to make bricks). You are waiting for a shaggy mass that pulls away from sides of bowl.
• Resting: Now turn off the machine and clean up your mess. Oil the bowl for the first rising. Call your mother. Play with the cat. (It's hard to break stride at this point but it's a crucial step.) You want the flours to absorb maximum moisture. Run the machine a few seconds to evaluate the sticky factor and then change to the dough hook.
• Kneading: Machine knead for 8 minutes. Push and shove the dough into the hook, always keeping dough involved. Stay alert or you'll lose the paddle and your hand. Frequent finger sprinkles of unbleached white flour keep the stickiness in control. Don't leave the machine unattended since the dough may look smooth and elastic and grasp the hook naturally and in another second it turns viciously sticky and avoids the hook.
• Turn dough out to a lightly floured counter space. Hand knead until you are satisfied with the dough.
• First rise: Lightly oil a bowl, turn the dough in it and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise until it is at least doubled.
• Prepare for baking: Place a baking stone (or clay tiles that can be used for bread baking) in your oven. Turn on oven to 400.
• Shape the loaf: Turn out to a floured counter top and knead out any air bubbles. Then form the loaf into a football shape. (Beginning bread bakers should consult a good article or book to learn how to shape free-form loaves, or get an experienced bread-baking friend to show you how.).
• Second rise: Set up the bread's "home" for the second rise. You can use parchment paper on a peel (huge wooden paddle) but an inverted cookie sheet will do. Sprinkle parchment paper with cornmeal. Gently place dough in the center and cover with a terrycloth towel. (Don't worry about weight of towel -- yeast is mighty strong at this point.) Leave loaf until it is nearly double (about 25 minutes or more). UNDER rising is better since, if it rises too high, it will not oven spring and it may even collapse. Over-rising on first rise can be a blessing. On second rise, too high is a disaster.
• Slashing the loaf: Before putting in oven, with a single edge razor blade, make three long slashes. Don't do a direct north/south (ceiling to floor) slash but rather keep the blade almost parallel to the floor. This way the slashed dough will fold out and be even rather than form gullies.
• Baking: With a minimum of vibration, carefully slide the dough AND the paper into the oven.
• After 15 minutes it will be possible to gently pull the paper out (it will start to brown) and change position of the loaf which should have sprung in the oven. Be gentle, the crust is extremely fragile at this stage and if you break it, the steam will escape and it won't cook chewy.
• Turn the heat down to 350 and let it bake another 40 minutes or so. Occasionally change the loaf's position because of oven hot spots. After 40 minutes lift loaf and tap bottom. If it sounds hollow it is done. If you have any doubt, return to oven another 5 minutes or so.
• Remove to a wire rack (a spare cold oven rack will do). Let cool.

ABM DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Add all but last 2 ingredients to machine in order reccommended by the manufacturer and select dough cycle.
• When complete, transfer dough to lightly floured surface and knead (if necessary) until easy to handle.
• Shape into rolls as desired (I keep dividing into halves until I have sixteen pieces and then I divide each into 3 pieces for cloverleaf rolls and put in a muffin tin).
• Cover and let rise until doubled; 20-30 minutes.
• Combine egg and sugar, brush on top.
• Bake at 375F for 12-14 minutes or until done.
• Enjoy!

CUMIN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Place warm water in bowl of heavy-duty mixer. Sprinkle yeast over and stir to combine. Let stand 10 minutes. Add oil, lemon peel, salt and ground cumin. Using dough hook attachment, gradually beat in flour. Continue beating 5 minutes. Turn out dough onto lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes (dough will be very soft).
• Lightly oil large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat. Cover with plastic and let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F Line 12x18-inch baking sheet with heavy-duty foil. Brush foil with oil. Place dough in pan. Using fingertips, press out dough, covering pan completely (dough will be very thin). Sprinkle with cumin seeds and sesame seeds. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Loosen bread from foil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
