Serves 8 - 99 cal per serving
Prep-time: 15 min. - Total-time: 60 min.

Combine whole grain flour with salt. Dissolve fresh yeast in 175 ml / 2/3 cup lukewarm water. (If you can't get fresh yeast use dry yeast instead. For active dry yeast multiply fresh yeast quantity by 0.4. Don't forget that active dry yeast must be hydrated in water before adding to the dough. For using instant dry yeast multiply fresh yeast quantity by 0.33; hydrating in water is not necessary.) Add to the flour and knead. If necessary add some more water until the dough is smooth and comes off the bowl easily. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 20 minutes. Put a bowl with hot water in the oven and pre-heat to 220 C / 430 F. Form the dough in a roll and cut into 8 equal pieces. Form small rolls. Put on a parchment lined baking sheet and flatten a little; the Whole Grain Rolls will rise during baking. With a sharp knife carve the rolls lengthwise and brush with cold water. If desired sprinkle with caraway seeds or kernels. Bake on the middle rung for about 20 minutes until golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
