Nice non-white bread roll for dinner, or turn them into something interesting - pretzal, challah, etc. Easy to adapt.

Ingredients

1 1/2 c Lukewarm water
1 1/2 tb AM Unrefined Vegetable Oil
3 tb Honey or maple syrup
1 1/2 ts Sea salt (optional)
1 1/2 tb Active dry yeast
1 c AM Amaranth Flour
2 1/4 c AM Whole Wheat Flour
 Optional:
 Soft butter,
 Honey,
 Raisins,
 Cinnamon,
 Chopped nuts,
 Dried lemon peel,
 Toasted amaranth seeds

Preparation

1. Mix first five ingredients together, then stir in flours. Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface (about 1/4" thick). Spread with butter and sprinkle with remaining ingredients, except amaranth seeds. Toast seeds in a dry skillet until lightly browned. Roll up dough and slice 2 inches thick. Place on sides, close together in an oiled pan. Sprinkle with amaranth seeds, and bake at 350 F. for 30 to 40 minutes.

Cook's Notes

You can easily substitute the WW flour for oat, spelt, or a non-glutenous flour to make this a gluten free recipe. I used 1 c. water, 1/2 c. rice milk and it was a sweeter bread than w/just water.
