Sprouted Sandwich Bread and Rolls

Bread, in Bread Machine:

1. Place the wet ingredients in a bread maker and add the dry ingredients on top, ending with the yeast.
2. Set the program for the basic rapid cycle and press Start.

Bread, by Hand:

1. If you prefer to mix by hand, place the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add the wet ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a rough ball.
2. Remove dough from bowl and knead about 8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Grease the bowl with olive oil and return dough to bowl. Cover with a dry dish towel and let rise in a warm place until double, about one hour.
3. Punch down the dough, form it into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan. Let rise again, until double. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 35-38 minutes and test for doneness (see below). Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Rolls, by Machine or by Hand:

1. Set the program for the dough setting on the machine, or mix by hand, as above.
2. Let dough rise until double; punch it down.
3. Cut the dough into 12 pieces and form them into 12 rolls.

Bake for 15-18 minutes and test for doneness.

Baking times will vary depending on size of the loaf, oven and weather.  To test a full loaf, give the bottom of the loaf a firm thump with your thumb. The bread will sound hollow when it’s done. Or insert an instant read thermometer into the center to test for a finished temperature of about 190°F.
