• Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add cooled cornmeal mixture and 2 beaten eggs. Slowly add enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead on medium-low speed until dough springs back when pressed with a finger, about 5 minutes. Brush a large mixing bowl with olive oil. Place dough in bowl; cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap. Set aside until doubled in size, about 3 hours.
• Sprinkle two 13-by-18-inch baking sheets with cornmeal. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Divide dough into 3-ounce portions. Roll each portion of dough into a ball. Place balls of dough 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover with oiled plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until dough does not spring back when pressed with a finger, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush the top of each roll with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with cornmeal. Using a sharp knife, cut two parallel slits in the top of each roll. Bake rolls until they are golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

CORNMEAL ROLLS

Beat in the remaining 1 cup water, the cornmeal, 2 1/4 cups of the flour, and 2 teaspoons of the salt and with dough hook knead the dough for 5 minutes. Knead in enough of the remaining 1/2 cup flour so that the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl but remains sticky. Turn the dough out into a large bowl, dust it with flour, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. Punch down the dough. The dough may be made up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the dough rise again, covered, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours (longer if the dough was chilled), or until it is double in bulk.
• Punch down the dough, knead it lightly on a lightly floured surface, and divide it into 16 pieces. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, keeping the other pieces covered, form the dough into different shapes such as knots and wreaths. (To form wreaths, shape the dough into rings and with scissor snip the out edges at intervals.) Arrange the rolls as they are formed on a greased baking sheet. (Use a black-steel baking sheet for crustier rolls.) Let the rolls rise, uncovered, in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until they are almost double in bulk, brush them lightly with the egg, and sprinkle them with the seeds and the additional salt. Bake the rolls in the upper third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve the rolls warm.

Steps:

• Combine milk with butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts. Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.

Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour until dough is tacky but not sticky. (If dough is sticky, stir in more flour.) Transfer to a work surface dusted with flour. Knead with floured hands, dusting more flour onto hands and surface as needed, until dough is elastic and springs back when pressed with a finger, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a large bowl brushed with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. The dough can be made up to this point and left torise up to 12 hours in the refrigerator; remove from refrigerator 1 hour before proceeding.
• Punch down dough. Form into a ball and place on a clean, undusted work surface. Quarter dough, then divide each quarter into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and space evenly on two rimmed baking sheets that are generously dusted with cornmeal (8 per sheet). Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
