Chia Seeds Milk Rolls

Chia Seeds Milk Rolls

Ingredients 
2 cups All-purpose Flour (reserve 1/2 cup for kneading)
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2-1/2 tsp. Instant Yeast
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 Egg
1 cup Milk
7 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. Chia Seeds

Procedure 
1. In a large bowl combine your dry ingredients, except Chia Seeds. Mix well.
(Note* If you need to proof your yeast, you can proof using warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and wait until it activates or gets foamy. Then proceed with the recipe.)

2. Warm milk and Oil (about 100°F). Wet ingredients should be warm, not hot, so as not to kill your yeast.

3. Lightly beat egg and add the rest of the wet ingredients into the dry and mix by hand until there are no more dry ingredients visible.

4. Using the reserved flour, use about 90% of it to knead. Lightly flour your board, add dough and using a dough cutter or spatula, use a fold motion to incorporate the flour into the dough, knead for 5 minutes.
Note* The dough will always be slightly sticky, don't add any more flour, unless it's too wet to knead if that occurs use 1 tablespoon of flour at a time while kneading until the dough is a little bit sticky, but not too much.

5. Add 1 Tbsp. Oil to the bottom of the bowl you were previously using, add the dough. Cover with a towel and place in a warm draft-free area. Let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

6. Generously grease the bottom of a 9-inch baking pan, sprinkle with a little cornmeal on the bottom, this is optional.

7. Once the dough has risen, using the remaining 10% flour left from the first kneading, you're going to lightly flour your working surface and knead the dough for about 2 minutes. Divide dough into 6 even pieces. Form your dough into balls by using a folding in motion, and pinching the end. Place rolls seam side down into the baking pan. Do this for the rest of the dough.

8. Let rise, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

9. After 25 minutes have passed pre-heat your oven at 350°F/180°C.
Lightly brush milk to the top of each roll and sprinkle chia seeds, bake rolls for 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown.

10. Serve warm and enjoy!
