Multigrain Rolls and a 'Glo-ing' Giveaway!
See…I promised I wasn’t going to give you a recipe for the rolls above my jeans. WHO would want that? Not me.
Or my hubs. Hmmm…better do something about these rolls…
I got the idea for this recipe from Miss Martha, of course. I used whole wheat flour for the entire batch, making them super nutty and healthy.
First, I whisked the yeast with some raw honey and buttermilk.
It has to sit until it gets foamy.
I used about 1/2 of this package.
Any Michigan natives out there??
My grandparents are from Michigan and we vacation there every summer – way up north on the lake. I have some of the BEST memories of my life there. A huge part of me would love to live there, or retire there…or…something there. Unfortunately, it is about 10 hours away from me in good ole’ Pittsburgh.
American Spoon has the most amazing jams, salsas, dried fruits, etc. Even better, you can sample EVERY product in their stores. Once when I was about 8, we got kicked out because one of the employees accused me of double dipping.
I don’t think I did, but when it comes to food, you never know with me. My mind gets clouded. Oops.
Check out this incredible raw honey.
It is so good. It tastes amazing on toast, fruit, even ice cream. I adore you, American Spoon honey.
I loved this part of making the rolls.
Ground flaxseed and oatbran.
Pour some boiling water over it and let it absorb.
Even oats go in the mix!
Truly ‘multi-grain.’
When the yeast looks like this, it’s ready to go.
Here is the oatbran/flax mixture.
I probably could have just eaten a spoonful of it like that.
Into the mixer the ingredients go.
And once everything is combined, place in a large, well-oiled bowl.
I took a peak at this up close and thought ‘this is going to be good…’
It is supposed to be set in a warm, dark place to rise.
This is about the darkest place in my house, and it certainly wasn’t warm because we didn’t turn on the heat until yesterday.
Luckily I have all of this wine to keep me warm in the chilly house.
Do you think we have enough wine? Especially when I’m the wine drinker in the family?
The secret spot behind the bar worked well – as you can see the dough doubled in bulk.
I weighed out 3 oz portions and rolled them into balls.
Set them in a round cake pan.
And brush the tops with egg wash.
My house smelled glorious with the scent of freshly baked bread.
And this time, it wasn’t from a candle.
How incredible do these look?
I opted not to add any seeds on top, with the exception of some course sea salt.
I like sesame seeds, and poppy seeds are ok, but place a fennel or caraway seed near me and I may stone you. Or just run away. Or just push it out of my face. Drama.
The up-close version.
Guess who is using her macro setting??? :)
My hubby spread some butter and jam on these.
I thought about how amazing they would be dipped in gravy.
Does that defeat the purpose of whole wheat, multigrain?
Oh.
Well maybe I’ll make a vegetable gravy. I can count it as my daily vegetable intake, since you all know how much I love them.
Multigrain Rolls
adapted from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup warm buttermilk
1/2 envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup honey
1 whole egg + 1 yolk
1/3 cup rolled oats
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sea salt
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil to coat bowl
mixed seeds (optional)
Combine oat bran and flaxseeds in bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until absorbed and completely cooled.
In the electric mixer bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast and honey. Let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
Once foamy, add 1 whole egg, oats, 3/4 cups whole wheat flour, oat bran mixture, salt and pepper with electric mixer on low speed. Add more whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup at a time to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Oil one 8-9 inch cake pan. Separate dough into 3 ounce sections, rolling each into a ball. Set in the round cake pan and cover. Let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg yolk. Brush rolls with the egg wash, sprinkled with sea salt and add additional seeds if you would like. Bake until golden brown on top, about 20-25 minutes.

I’d LOVE to try Run…because of the maca! But anything else with chia or carob would qualify too!
I would love to try a Renew bar!
Well I’d have to go with the Classic or the Chocolate Peanut butter Crisp.

Nice stash of wine!! :)
YUM, I’ve been dying to try one of her bars! They all look SO good but I would love to try the Classic!
I can not wait to try the Revive bar. Dark chocolate and peanut butter…there’s nothing better! :)
the revive, please!
The chocolate peppermint bar — because it’s been getting so much love by the lucky bloggers who have tried it!
Definitely the Zen. I have two toddlers. I can always use a little Zen in my life.
I would love to try the Refresh bar, what a great flavour combination not normally found in bar form!
I’m am dying to try them all after visiting Angela’s website – but once I read the Revive which is dark chocolate chunky peanut butter that stuck – all i could think of is the old reeses peanut butter commerical – “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter no you got your peanut butter on my chocolate” so in a nut shell – pun intended Revive is the one I look forward to trying the most!
I would love to try the Revive one since I am always tired and need a pick-me-up!
My husband is a runner, and currently preparing for an annual Turkey (Thanksgiving) Run, as well as for the L.A. Marathon next year.
So, I’m thinkin’ we need to try some of those Run bars :O) They sound awesome! I’ve never heard of these bars before, but they seem amazing. I would also like the Endure and Renew bars for both of us.
Looks like I need to win this giveaway!
And, thanks so much for adding me as a Tasty Kitchen friend :O) I need to visit on there much more often than I do.

Would love the Run bars, looking for a bar that will give me lots of energy now that I am running a lot longer and farther. Dying to try Angelas bars.
Great giveaway. Thanks.
Yummy! I would love to try the RUN bar immediately after my weekly 9 mile Saturday run!
oh my word, how about ALL of them?!?!
ok ok, if I had to pick one I’d pick the cranberry apricot – maybe because fall makes me crave cranberry/pumpkin/dried fruit based foods, or maybe just because they look de.lish.us.
I want to try the chia seed one!
Mmm… I want to try the Run bar!
Mmm those rolls look SO good! Throw some of those in my giveaway bag too;)
The Revive Bar’s sound fabulous !!
I can’t wait to try Revive. I am a sucker for anything with chocolate and peanut butter… : )
REVIVE! Chocolate and Peanut Butter?? Doesn’ t get much better than that!
All of them! I mean, I guess I would start with Renew, then Peanut butter, then chia@
i would love to try the revive bar, followed by the run bar! thanks for the chance to win!
Oh my gosh!!! I would love to try them!
I am currently changing my eating lifestyle and this is something on my list to try! They look so YUMMY!

Your rolls look absolutely fabulous! You have inspired to me get baking this weekend (I am copying your recipe).

Mmm..those rolls looks fantastic!
I can’t decide between the Classic and the Revive bars!! I want to try both of them desperately!
I would like to try the awake bar :)
I would love to try them all. But I think the two that looked the most appealing were the Classic Peanut Butter and the Renew.
Yum!!
I am dying to try the Renew bars! I think they have like 11 grams of protein in them and I’m looking for the perfect bar to have after practice.
I have been dying to buy a multi-pack for a week now..but can’t really affoed it. If I could choose JUST one, I would choose the Revive bar. It sounds devine!

The revive. MMMMM! I love peanut butter.
I would LOVE to try the awake glo bars. They look awesome!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I really want to try the Refresh Chocolate Peppy-mint flavor!!
The Run bar sounds great to power me to run run run just like Angela. She is so inspirational. Thanks for the opportunity
This is a tough choice, but I think I’d like to try Endure the most. The fruity combo sounds magnificent! They all sound yummy though!!
Classic sounds good to me!
Definitely can’t wait to try the “Revive” – dark chocolate and chunky peanut butter!!! Is there anything better?!? :)
I’ve been seeing a lot of these bars around! I’d like to try the classic.
