Instructions
 

  • Activate Yeast:
  • In a large bowl, combine warm milk and honey. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Mix Dough:
  • Add melted butter, egg, salt, whole wheat flour, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if too sticky.
  • Knead Dough:
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • First Rise:
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Shape Rolls:
  • Punch down the dough. Divide into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls. Place in a greased 9×13" pan or baking sheet.
  • Second Rise:
  • Cover and let rolls rise again for 20–30 minutes while you preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake:
  • Bake rolls for 14–16 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Finish:
  • Brush warm rolls with melted butter. Serve warm or let cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use all whole wheat flour, but the rolls may be denser. A mix with all-purpose makes them fluffier.
  • Add 1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds for extra fiber.
  • Great for freezing wrap tightly after baking and freeze up to 2 months.
