Hard Rolls
DOUGH
  1. 2 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour
  2. 1/3 cup Hi-maize Fiber
  3. 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  4. 1 tablespoon non-diastatic malt powder or sugar
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 large egg white
  7. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil
  8. 3/4 cup lukewarm water
TOPPING
  1. 2 to 3 tablespoons sesame seeds or poppy seeds
Instructions
  1. To make the dough: Mix and knead the dough ingredients u2014 by hand, mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle u2014 to make a smooth dough.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rise until it's noticeably puffy, about 1 hour.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and divide it into 6 pieces (about 3 1/4 ounces each). Shape into balls.
  4. Dip the top half of each roll into water, then into the seeds.
  5. Place the rolls into the cups of a lightly greased hamburger roll pan, or onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press gently to flatten.
  6. Cover the rolls and let them rise until puffy, 30 to 40 minutes. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.
  7. Bake the rolls until they're a deep golden brown, 22 to 26 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a rack.
  8. If desired, just before serving, reheat the rolls in a 375u00b0F oven for 5 minutes or so, to crisp.
