Refrigerator Rolls (the Danish recipe)

Here is another easy bead recipe. They were served to me at a friend's house as part of lunch for sandwiches. She told me how easy the recipe was, so then I of course I had to have it.

I made it last weekend for our guests. Fresh baked bread for breakfast with Den Gamle Fabrik jam (this time rose hips flavor). Yummy...and so Danish. They (this being my MIL and her friend) said that the recipe sounded like what they'd call refrigerator rolls. Isn't it funny, everything I want to do - line dry cloths, have chickens in my backyard, bake my own bread - are the things my MIL used to do almost as necessity way back when.


Refrigerator Rolls

3 deciliter oats
7 deciliter warm water
5 grams yeast (just a tiny bit of the yeast cube)
650 grams flour (she likes to use half white and half grahamsmel)
2 teaspoons salt
2 dessert spoons unrefined sugar (or brown sugar)

Mix all the ingredients together and place bowl in fridge (or outside) overnight. In the morning mix again, and then let the dough warm up. Place blobs onto papered pan, sprinkle blobs with water and add desired topping (sesame is my favorite). Bake at 240 degrees for 18 minutes with the fan on.

Now that I've made these twice, I've learned that letting the dough warm a bit is important, and having the fan on is also important.

I got my grocery shopping done bright and early yesterday morning - I knew the holiday rush would be crazy later on in the day. The country will only be shut down for one day - but by the way people shop, you'd think it was shutting down for two weeks. The only thing I can compare it to is when a BIG BIG Minnesota snowstorm is anticipated - that kind of grocery store shopping. Like the snow will *actually* keep you stranded in the house for more than a day (or two).


I don't know why this makes me so happy, but it does. Maybe its just one less thing to worry about over the weekend.
