Cornmeal Crescent Rolls


1 package dry yeast

1/8 teaspoon sugar

½ cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/3cup yellow cornmeal

3 Tablespoons instant nonfat dry milk powder

½ cup plain nonfat yogurt

¼ cup vegetable oil

2 Tablespoons molasses

½ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups plus 3 Tablespoons bread flour, divided

Vegetable cooking spray

1 egg white, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon water

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add whole wheat flour and next 6 ingredients; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in enough of the 1 ¼ cups bread flour to make a soft dough.

Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon bread flour evenly over work surface. Turn dough out onto floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (8 to 10 minutes).

Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon bread flour evenly over work surface. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Roll one portion of dough to a 12-inch circle; lightly coat top of dough with cooking spray. Cut circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges, beginning at wide end; seal points. Place rolls, point side down, 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Curve rolls into crescents. Repeat rolling and shaping procedure with remaining 1 Tablespoon flour and remaining dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 2 to 24 hours.

Combine egg white and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, stirring well. Uncover dough, and brush egg white mixture evenly over tops of rolls. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 or until rolls are golden.
