Grape Molasses Rolls — Turkish Breakfast Rolls

Gently turn the risen dough out onto the work surface without deflating it, then divide it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them with space between on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the tops slightly; if you like, press a shallow well into the center of each.

Brush the rolls lightly with milk, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and crushed walnuts. Since the dough contains no egg, the grape molasses will give it its color; use a light touch so the tops do not get too dark.

Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 25 minutes. The grape molasses dough is dark from the start, so judge doneness by the bottoms; tap a roll and listen for a hollow sound. Cool on a wire rack.
