Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup hard red or hard white wheat or 205g of flour
  • 1 cup Kamut flour or Khorasan grain or 140g of flour
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Sugar or 44g of honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp Instant yeast

Method
 

Mill your flour
  1. I love a mix of the hard red and kamut. The kamut gives it the best texture and great flavor. I highly recommend following the gram measurements for precision.
Make your dough
  1. To a stand mixer add all of your ingredients minus the salt and yeast.
    1 1/2 cup hard red or hard white wheat, 1 cup Kamut flour or Khorasan grain , 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, 2 tbsp Sugar or 44g of honey
  2. Mix together until combined and allow to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  3. After resting the dough add in the salt and yeast. Knead with the dough hook for 8-10 minutes. Until you have a smooth, stretchy dough ball.
    1 tsp salt, 2 1/4 tsp Instant yeast
  4. Allow to rise for 1-1 1/2 hours. Rise time varies based on temperature.
  5. After its doubled in size place dough onto the counter and cut into 6 pieces using a bench scraper. Roll into balls using a cupped hand to create tension in the dough by going in small circles. place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow to rise again for 1 hour. Before baking top with sesame seeds if desired.
  6. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes . I like to temp my bread so internal temp should be 190°. Tops will be golden brown
