Dinkel-Rye Rolls in a Jar

This is a great present from your kitchen, since you do the sourcing of the ingredients, and your giftee gets the joy of baking. All ingredients but water can go together in the one jar, so this recipe is perfect! You could call it the IKEATM gift from the kitchen: Some assembly required ;-)

Ingredients

375 g Dinkel flour

175 g Rye flour blend (rågsikt)*

1 tsp sugar

1 ½  tsp salt

1 package (10-14 g) dry yeast

300 ml lukewarm water

 

 

Oven

220C (200C fan), preheated

Reduced to 190C (170C fan)

 

 

Note

* A rye flour blend is a mix of rye and wheat flours, and readily available in some countries. If you cannot get this, plain rye flour works as well

Directions

  • Layer Dinkel flour, rye/wheat blend, sugar and salt into a mason jar (ca. 800-1000 ml capacity)
  • If your giftee plans to bake the rolls within a few days, you can also add the dry yeast, but it is safer to attach the yeast in its original package separately
  • Write a nice card with the following instructions:

 

  • Place all ingredients into a bowl of a kitchen machine with a kneading hook
  • Add 300 ml of lukewarm water
  • Let the machine knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly flowered surface and hand-knead for a further few minutes
  • Form a ball, cover and let proof in a warm place for about 30 minutes
  • Knock the dough back and cut into 8 to 10 equal pieces
  • Roll dough pieces into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper
  • Cut the tops with a sharp knife (e.g. 2 cross cuts or 3 parallel cuts)
  • Brush the tops with some water
  • Place a heat-proof bowl with some water on the bottom of the oven
  • Bake for 8 minutes
  • Reduce heat to 190C (170C fan)
  • Brush the tops again with water and bake for another 8 minutes
