Golden Whole-Grain Artisan Bread Bites

Ingredients

- 1 cup whole grain flour
- 1 cup all-purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (approximately 110°F)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole grain flour, all-purpose white flour, and salt.

3. Combine Ingredients:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, milk, and beaten eggs. Stir until the dough begins to form.

4. Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

6. Shape the Dough:
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small equal-sized balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. Roll each into a smooth ball.

7. Second Rise:
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

8. Prepare for Baking:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust.

9. Bake:
Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bread bites are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

10. Cool and Serve:
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delightful snack or alongside your favorite dips.
