About ten days ago or so, I baked these Low-Knead Cast-Iron Crisp-Top Dinner Rolls. They were absolutely fantastic, but I was curious to see if a whole wheat or seeded (or both) variety would work as well and turns out, it did. I made them in the same cast iron braiser that I made the others, and the tops came up nice and crispy, the flavor is also great. Overall, definitely a repeatable recipe, though in all honestly, I did like the White Flour ones better. These are a recipe to add to the rotation for sure!

We’re going to go with definition number 2, please. These bagels are unholy. They have no holes.
You see, a few weeks ago, a friend of mine was making Pretzel Rolls (Laugenbrötchen, for you Germans). Similar to making bagels, you place the rolls in boiling water for a minute or two before baking, only with pretzels or pretzel rolls, you are supposed to put food lye or baking soda in the boiling water, which gives it that dark brown exterior. Well, she forgot the baking soda, and thus ended up making bagel rolls much like these. She posted a photo to her FB page and I spontaneously just said “Unholy bagels!” which I found somehow very funny. Apparently it doesn’t take much to amuse me during lockdown. So there you have it. Unholy bagels, aka Dinner Rolls. They are really damn (ha ha) yummy, even if they started out as accident.
So, I got a little bit of an early start for “Break Week” for the bake-a-long and made up a dough after class last night, whipped up a loaf of Malt & Rye Artisan Bread this morning. Full disclosure: I actually had a craving for a pastrami on rye type sandwich last week already so I made a Turkey on Malted Rye with Asian Slaw and Russian Dressing. Not prefect but it’s wat I had in the house. The bread was great though. It could have been a little lighter, but whole wheat and rye aren’t exactly light to start out with.The additionl of the beer gave it a nice, malty boost.
Here’s another idea for a picnic, potluck, biergarten meetup or a quick dinner that will feed — well, I’m guessing this will easily feed 10 people as a snack, maybe 4-5 for dinner. I made a cheater version of this stomboli because I bought the pizza dough at Trader Joes, though it’s not actually difficult to make pizza dough. If you do cheat, this stromboli will be ready in under an hour. Can be eaten hot or at room temperature and can be made a day or two in advance, if needed. Easy-peasy!
