Preparation

Step 1

Place the quinoa in a pot with one teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon honey, and cover with the 2 cups of water.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. LET COOL. Set aside ¼ cup cooked quinoa for sprinkling on top of shaped rolls.

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in one cup of warm water. Add the remaining ½ cup of honey, eggs, and oil. Add the 2 cups of whole wheat flour and mix well.

Add 2 teaspoons salt and 2 cups of the bread flour and mix well.

Add quinoa and 1 more cup of flour and knead dough, adding last cup of flour as needed.

Knead dough until dough is smooth and fairly stiff (with stand mixer, about 8 minutes). Place dough in oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1½ hours.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Punch down dough and divide into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, stretching the top of the roll smooth and pulling the excess dough to the underside of the roll.

Place rolls, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes while the oven preheats. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter or oil, and sprinkle with reserved cooked quinoa, and coarse salt. Bake rolls for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 375°F and continue to bake for 15 minutes more. Rolls are ready when they are dark golden brown.

Serve warm. These keep well wrapped in foil for 2 days easily.
