ROSEMARY PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Set aside in a warm place until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes; remove pan from heat.
• Combine 2 cups flour, yeast mixture, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; mix on low until no dry spots remain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue adding flour until a firm dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead on medium until elastic and soft but still tacky, about 6 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and coat with olive oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and shape into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 36 equally-sized pieces. Form each piece into a ball, pinching the seams on the underside, creating a smooth, round top.
• Lightly beat egg with 1 teaspoon milk in a small bowl.
• Transfer dough balls to the prepared baking sheet in 3 rows of 12, placing them close together but not touching. Brush tops lightly with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

HONEY WHEAT SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press start.
• When dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out 3/4 inch thick. Cut out rolls with a 3 to 4 inch diameter biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, brush with melted butter.

ROSEMARY-WHOLE WHEAT HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Place water, sugar and yeast in large bowl of a stand mixer wih paddle attachment. Let stand 2-3 minutes or until yeast is dissolved.
• Add milk, butter and 1 cup of the bread flour; beat at low speed until combined.
• Add salt and rosemary; beat until combined.
• With mixer running, slowly add whole wheat flour and enough of the bread flour to form a soft dough.
• Beat at medium-low speed 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (Can be made by hand. Knead 10 minutes if doing by hand).
• Place in a greased medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
• Gently punch down dough to deflate; place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 pieces. Form each piece into a ball; place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Cover with towel; let stand 3 minutes. Flatten into 3 3/4" rounds. (should weigh about 4 ounces each) Cover with a towel; let rise another 15 minutes.
• At this point, you can place another light-weight cookie sheet on top of the buns to keep the buns flatter but I don't think it's necessary. Let them rise another 25 minutes or until almost doubled in size (dough should hold slight indentation when gently pressed).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush the tops of the buns with egg white; lightly press a rosemary sprig onto the center of each bun. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and bottoms sound hollow when gently tapped. Cool completely on wire rack.
