Baking Temps and Times for Rolls
In the formula for 66% sourdough rye in Hamelman's "Bread" he notes that 66% rye is about the max rye content for rolls, or else the roll becomes all crust and no crumb. Here is the formula (for loaves) with the note about rolls:
66% Sourdough Rye - "Bread", 3rd ed
What would you suggest for baking temps, steam, and timings for making rolls (~100g) with this dough? Is the receding oven typical for rye loaves necessary for rolls?
Thanks
I would be thinking about 18 - 20 minutes at 400 deg F with initial steam. Maybe a little higher temperature if you want more browning (probably hard to see on darkish rye rolls). Or 25 minutes at 375 deg F.

Next rye dough will probably be rolls
