Half rye gives the flavour and half wheat gives the structure, because rye alone has too little gluten to hold a roll's shape. The dough rises once in the bowl and once as shaped balls, which is what makes the crumb even.

Dough
Rye Flour
250 grams
Wheat Flour
250 grams
Dry Yeast
7 grams
Honey
1 tablespoon (21 grams)
Sunflower Oil
2 tablespoons (28 grams)
Salt
10 grams
Topping
Sesame Seeds
2 tablespoons (18 grams)
Steps
Warm 320 ml of water to 35 °C — hotter water kills the yeast. Stir the yeast and the honey into it and leave it 10 minutes, until the surface foams.
12 min
Mix both flours with the salt in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast water and the oil and work it into a rough dough.
5 min
Knead it 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Rye dough stays sticky and never gets as springy as wheat, so do not keep adding flour.
10 min
Cover the bowl and leave it somewhere warm for 60 minutes, until the dough has doubled.
60 min
Knock the dough back, divide it into 10 pieces of about 85 g and roll each one into a ball.
10 min
Set them on a lined tray a hand's width apart, cover them with a towel and leave them 40 minutes.
40 min
Heat the oven to 220 °C. Brush the rolls with water and scatter the sesame over them.
5 min
Bake them 25 minutes. A finished roll sounds hollow when you tap its bottom.
25 min
Cool them on a rack. Cutting into them hot leaves the crumb gummy.
10 min
Serving suggestion
Split one while it is still warm and put butter and a slice of cheese in it.
Storage
Two days in a paper bag, or freeze them baked and warm them from frozen at 180 °C for 8 minutes.
Notes
The rise takes longer in a cold kitchen. Go by the dough doubling, not by the clock.
