I aimed to recreate the walnut rolls from the Little Mermaid Bakeries (a chain of bakeries in Japan).

If your bread machine chops the walnuts up too finely, add the walnuts 5 to 10 minutes later, or instead of adding them to the bread machine, knead some chopped walnuts into the dough when you form the rolls.
The ratio of whole wheat to bread flour is as follows: For a tender crumb, use 100 g whole wheat and 140 g bread flour; for a sturdier, denser crumb use 140 g whole wheat to 100 g bread flour. Please adjust between those ranges to your taste. For 12 rolls. Recipe by Kokubocchi

Steps

1

Put all the ingredients except for the beaten egg in a bread machine, and use the "dough only" setting. Leave it up to the machine until the 1st rising is done (about 1 hour).
2

Divide the dough into 12 portions (about 54 g each), round off each portion, and rest for 15 minutes.
3

Line an oven tray with kitchen parchment paper, and put 6 balls of dough on top. Press down lightly with your hands to make flat rounds. Cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel, and leave to rise in the oven set at 40°C for 30 minutes (2nd rising).
4

Preheat the oven to 180°C (take the dough out first). Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash. Snip the rolls 5 times each with kitchen scissors. Bake in a 180°C oven for 15 minutes.

For walnut-raisin bread: Use 40 g of walnuts instead of 70 g, and add 40 g of raisins. Then follow the directions above.
