In a small bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, warm milk, melted butter, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
Add the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Stir until combined.
Add the egg and mix well. Gradually add the remaining all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover loosely and let rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Bake the rolls for 20 minutes until set but not browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
To serve, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
