My youngest asked me for a roll challenge (what I would have called a taste-test, but we have used the You Tube inspired “challenge” idea to get her to eat many foods that she normally wouldn’t). My eldest suggested that this was a good excuse to bake bread. I think they both rather like that I have been baking fresh bread with Heritage Wheat weekly! So for this roll challenge I looked for a recipe that used whole wheat, and I found a really good one here.

I divided the recipe in two, and added mini chocolate chips to one half, and left the other half plain. (The whole purpose of asking for a roll challenge was to get me to make bread with chocolate in it!) To distinguish between flavors I made the chocolate up as simple rolls, and the plain as knots. To add to the challenge, after brushing the rolls with egg, I sprinkled turbinado sugar on half the chocolate rolls. We now had three variations for our challenge!

My youngest loved the chocolate chip rolls, but the rest of us preferred the plain. I do think that I need to learn more ways to shape rolls!
