Method
Enriched yeast dough with butter, milk and sugar. I ferment half the dough without butter and sugar overnight using my bread yeast culture. The following day I incorporate the next half flour with sugar, butter and spices (I use caraway seeds here) . Let dough rise till doubled then shape in rings and place them close to each other on a tray. Dissolve some sugar in milk and use it to glaze the rings then sprinkle with seasme seeds. Let them rest until puffed up, an hour or so, and bake at 180-200 till golden.
Okay my second Attempt at Feta Cheese and Hot Pepper bread!
but this time I use a cast iron dutch oven and I am very happy!
Having never made Ezekiel Bread before, this was a real treat for Lucy. Us older ex-Hippie types haven’t made it for decades. One reason is the 2 day sprouting for the beans and rice in one large pile and then sprouting whole grains in another.

I wanted to bake a Rye bread from Peter Reinhart's book : Whole grain books, as a change from Hamelman's Rye recipes.
With 45 % Rye flour, and 55% whole wheat flour, the bread is very wholesome, and enriched. It contains butter, honey, caraway, and nigella seeds. The bread is leavened with the 45% Rye flour amount as Rye sour, but the final dough contains 2.25 tsp of instant yeast. The bulk fermentation and final fermentation takes from 50-60 minutes at most.
Long bulk fermentation and long final proofing using manitoba flour all done in refrigirator. Carefully added blueberries and white chocolate before final proofing in bannetons.
I decided I wanted to make some rolls at the same time I made the Crème de Tequila bread and as I opened up my refrigerator to get a snack I spotted the extra potato knishes I had heated up the other day for dinner. Well...one thing lead to another and the inspiration for my latest bake was born.
My last few bakes for rolls did not use a sourdough starter, so I wanted to use one for this bake while still achieving a nice moist and soft roll.
I googled and came across a vbery interesting recipe where the baker was doing tiramisu in cupcakes:

I baked some lady fingers in a cupcake tray, cecided there was not enough room for filling and baked the rest of the ladyfingers in small ramekins with lots of room for yummy filling AND for cupcake bake layers.
Hi all. This is my first post.
I baked these and I thought they turned out pretty good, except for a little bit of excessive browning on top. I will probably tent next time.
A few additional pictures:
60g balls
After a long rise. I didn't actually intend for these to be pull-apart rolls.
