Flaxseed meal bran rolls


Ok I know that "flaxseed meal" and "bran" make this sound like a heavy, tasteless, good-for-you bread. But trust me -- this is a moist, aromatic, chewy, and just completely yummy bread recipe.

1 pkg yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/8 cup honey
1 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 grated apple
1 cup flaxseed meal
1 cup bran
3+ cups white all-purpose or bread flour
1 tsp cooking oil

Mix yeast and warm water in a large bowl and let sit until creamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, warm milk, take off heat and add honey, butter, egg, and salt and whisk. When luke warm, add to yeast mixture. Add apple, flaxseed, bran, and flour and mix. Turn out onto a board and knead, adding more white flour sparingly as needed to keep it from sticking. Knead 5-10 minutes. Oil a large bowl and turn dough into it. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm location. When it's doubled in size, turn oven on to 350 and oil a 9-inch springform pan. Divide dough into 8 equal balls and put in springform pan. Let rise another 30 minutes, then bake in oven 30-40 minutes.
