Ingredients for Dutch Crunch Rolls
To create these scrumptious rolls, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup warm water (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for topping)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions for Making Dutch Crunch Rolls
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Dutch Crunch Rolls:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Stir until a dough begins to form, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- While your dough is rising, prepare the Dutch crunch topping. In a bowl, whisk together the rice flour, warm water, sesame oil, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Let it rest while the dough rises.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Just before baking, brush each roll with the prepared topping generously.
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and make a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
- Let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
These Dutch Crunch Rolls will elevate any meal and are perfect for sandwiches, or simply enjoyed with a pat of butter. Don’t forget to share your creation with friends and family—everyone will be asking for your secret recipe!
