What You'll Need

ROLLS:
1 cup bran flakes with raisins cereal
1 cup granola
2 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour (we used King Arthur)
1 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour (we used King Arthur)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cup water, at room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (we used Fleischmann's)
TOPPING:
1 egg white, beaten

What to Do

Place cereal and granola in a large resealable plastic bag; finely crush with rolling pin.
In the pan of a bread machine, place crushed cereal and remaining roll ingredients; turn on dough cycle (about 1-1/2 hours). Let sit 5 minutes then open bread machine and touch dough to check for consistency. The dough should form a ball around the kneading blade. If dough is too dry, add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon water. If dough is too wet, add 1 tablespoon flour at a time until the right consistency is reached. When dough consistency is correct, remove from pan and divide into 18 equal pieces; shape into rolls.
Meanwhile, for topping, place granola in resealable plastic bag and finely crush with rolling pin. Place in shallow dish.
Dip each roll into egg white then crushed granola, lightly pressing granola onto dough.
Place rolls on baking sheets that have been coated with cooking spray. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size (45 to 60 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake rolls 17 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove rolls from baking sheets and cool on wire rack.
