1
In bread machine bowl add the warm milk, water, yeast, melted butter, and molasses. Let rest for 5 minutes. Then add the egg, salt, cocoa, rye and wheat flours. Add 2 cups of bread flour and start the dough cycle on your bread machine. You may need to add additonal bread flour to form a soft dough ball. If you do this by hand the dough should be a bit sticky but hold a ball shape.
2
After cycle is complete, place dough on floured surface and with floured hands shape into 8 balls. This can be messy as dough should be a bit sticky for a softer roll. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap greased or sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled.
3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a small shallow pan of water on bottom of oven or bottom most rack. Brush rolls with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon of water) and sprinkle with seeds or salt (optional for family preferences).
4
Bake until browned approximately 15 -18 minutes. Watch after 10 minutes depending on your oven.
5
Be careful opening oven because of the steaming effect of the water.

This will make 12 dinner sized rolls.
