| 1 |
Heat the water and mix it with the yeast and sugar and let it stand for about 10 minutes. The water should feel just warm, don't overheat. |
| 2 |
Set aside 2 cups of flour. Put berries and 1/4 cup flour in food processor fitted with metal blade. Process until the berries are finely chopped. Add then the rest of the flour and process again to mix well. |
| 3 |
In large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the olive oil, salt and the 2 cups of flour previously reserved. Stir to mix well. |

Stir in the flour and wheat berry mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. |
| 5 |
Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl and turn around to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a dry cloth and let the dough rise, in a warm place, until it has doubled in volume. It will take about 1 hour. |
| 6 |
Punch to deflate the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface again. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and shape them into balls. |
| 7 |
Place rolls onto a lightly greased baking sheet giving tem room to increase in size, about 2 in from each other. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise until they have doubled in volume. It will take about 40 minutes. |
| 8 |
Preheat oven to 400° F. Bake rolls until golden, about 20 minutes. Let them cool down on rack. The rolls are wonderful if you serve them still warm. |
