Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 cups warm water
- 4 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of warm water and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.
Stir in the honey, olive oil, and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add 5 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. This will create a thick batter-like consistency.
Add the remaining 2 cups of warm water and the milk, then mix in an additional 5 cups of whole wheat flour, one cup at a time. Knead the dough in the bowl until it starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and only slightly tacky. Add a small amount of flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Place the kneaded dough in a large greased bowl, turning it to coat it lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into 100 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls on greased baking sheets or in greased pans, leaving space between them for rising. Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until the rolls have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly brush the tops of the risen rolls with melted butter for a golden crust.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on wire racks before serving.
