Bulgur Wheat Dinner Rolls

"I have this disease called CDUWG - Compulsive Disorder of Using Whole Grains! I am actually wondering if Whole Foods will bestow upon me a special award for being the reason for consumption of at least 50% of their wholegrain bulk produce!!! "
My husband forced me to start off my post by uttering these two first lines! It astounds him to see me always shopping for them even on a vacation. If we visit any new place, I will surely make it high priority to visit their local shops and search for any new kind of grain that I have not laid my hands on! One such visit to a shop in Vancouver, I got my hands on a pamphlet which had some amazing whole grain recipes. It has only 4-5 - all of them baking recipes and I treasure it like a souvenir.
This recipe is from that small pamphlet which I have halved. Instead of using dried rosemary which the recipe asked for, I used fresh ones from my backyard. I also replaced regular sugar with honey and butter with vegetable oil. Other than this, the recipe is the same.
Basic Information
Prep Time: 2 to 4 hours
Cook Time: Under 30 min
Yield: Makes about 10 rolls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bulgur (bulghur or burghul)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 envelop dry yeast (2-1/4 tsp)
- 1/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
Method
1
Place the cracked wheat (bulgur) into a bowl and pour out the boiling water over it. Cover and soak it for an hour until it has absorbed all the water
2
sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and stir to dissolve. Heat the milk in a pan until it starts to bubble around the edges of the pan. Add the rosemary,oil,honey and salt and mix until all come together.
3
Cool to lukewarm and mix the cracked wheat and the flour gradually until it is too stiff to beat.
4
On a lightly floured surface, knead it well until elastic and smooth.
5
Make a round, and place it in a greased bowl.
6
Cover and let it rest until doubled.
7
Roll it out into approx 10 balls ( depending on the size), place it on a greased baking sheet and let it rise until almost doubled in size.
Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 15-20 minutes or until risen and browned.
Serve it warm in a basket with some hearty soup.
These are soft and they keep very well - I wrapped them in a plastic ziplock and stored them in a cool place. They lasted out for 3-4 days for us. With the aroma and light taste of rosemary, it made a very chewy roll.

This recipe sounds wonderful! Several members of my family will not eat Rosemary, saying that it is too piney. Do you have any other flavor options that you feel would work in its place?
Oh someone asked about measurement od yeast one packet is one tablespoonful I also buy it in bulk lose
You can make this with palm sugar too and use pine needles cut very tiny at Christmas time it’s wonderful! High in vit c dry the needles and ren them through a coffee mill or blender is what I do it gave a citress taste

Hi Dk,This is the first recipe i tried from ur blog and it has turned out very good( though i didnt get the brown color like in the pic
) .i ate this these rolls with oilve oil & balsamic vinegar dip..look forward to try more recipes from your blog.Thanks
Hey, these look great, exactly what I’ve been looking for…just wondering if they freeze well? I like to bake all at once and portion things out for the month…or would you suggest freezing prior to full bake?
I have never tried freezing them hence I am not too sure. I think u can freeze them after cooling them in an air tight bag. But personally I cannot vouch for it having never tried so before. Sorry for the insufficient help –DK
These rolls are so delightful! I love bulgar wheat and had been wanting to try them for some time and finally got around to it today. The bulgar definitely keeps the inside moister than most dinner rolls, a wonderful texture in my opinion! Only things I changed was reducing the oil by 2 tbsp (used olive) and used light silk soy milk to make them pretty much vegan. I’ll definitely be making them again and profiling them on my blog at some point.
Sure Thanks..Looking forward for your whole wheat roll.I am trying your Banana Cardamom bread.I will post comments how that turns out for me
Thanks

Hi DK
Can i just replace all the flour here as whole wheat flour ?
including the bulgur..
The recipe showcase is the Bulgur by itself…I will soon be posting whole wheat dinner rolls which will be more apt for your query – DK
Thanks

Hi DK
Can i just replace all the flour here as whole wheat flour ?
I think you can – the only thing is that the rolls would be little denser than v chewy and light. But it would still taste yum – DK
Oh, they look delicious! I just got some bulgur today to make tabbouleh, and I may have to try these rolls later this week.
Very nice… despite having whole grains they look yummy
