Name: Cornmeal, Fennel, And Golden Raisin Dinner Rolls
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 teaspoon sugar; 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons); 1 1/4 cups warm water (100u00b0 to 110u00b0); 1 cup golden raisins; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed; 6 1/4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/3 cups); 5 1/3 ounces bread flour (about 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons); 2 2/3 ounces cornmeal (about 9 tablespoons); Cooking spray; 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Servings: persons

1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 1/4 cups warm water (100u00b0 to 110u00b0)
1 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
6 1/4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/3 cups)
5 1/3 ounces bread flour (about 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons)
2 2/3 ounces cornmeal (about 9 tablespoons)
Cooking spray
1 large egg, lightly beaten

1
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add raisins and next 5 ingredients (through cornmeal), stirring until a stiff dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes; dough will feel sticky).
2
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u00b0), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
Punch dough down. Divide dough into 16 (1 1/2-ounce) portions. Working with one dough portion at a time (cover remaining dough portions to prevent drying), roll each portion into a ball. Place dough balls on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until dough balls are doubled in size.
4
Preheat oven to 450u00b0.
5
Uncover dough. Gently brush egg evenly over dough. Bake at 450u00b0 for 10 minutes or until rolls are browned on bottom and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pan; cool on wire racks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
