Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend dry yeast into sifted white flour; add water, dark syrup, and oil, then mix well.
- Combine salt, flax seed, and whole wheat flour; add to the yeast mixture and mix thoroughly.
- If the dough is too thin, add a little more white flour.
- Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise until doubled in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a floured breadboard; divide it in half and shape into 2 (6-inch long) rolls.
- Cut each roll into 8 equal portions.
- Form into 16 individual rolls and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again until doubled in size.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the flax seeds before adding them to the dough. If you want a lighter roll, you can substitute part of the white flour with spelt flour. Ensure your water is lukewarm, as too hot can kill the yeast. If you prefer a sweeter roll, you can increase the dark syrup slightly.
Serving Suggestions
These flax seed rolls are perfect for breakfast sandwiches or served alongside soups and salads. They pair beautifully with Chutney Mustard Dressing for a flavorful dip. Consider serving them with a spread of butter or your favorite jam for a delightful treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these flax seed rolls gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute gluten-free flour blends for the white and whole wheat flour. Be sure to check the yeast package for gluten-free certification. The texture may vary slightly, but they should still rise and taste great.
How can I tell if my dough has risen enough?
The dough should double in size during the rising process. You can gently poke the dough; if it springs back slowly, it’s ready. If it springs back quickly, it may need more time to rise.
What can I use instead of dark syrup?
If you don't have dark syrup, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that this may slightly alter the sweetness and texture of the rolls.
