Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Milk, for brushing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Stir in the honey, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
Add the whole wheat flour and mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading the dough as you go until it is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky. Kneading can be done by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 8-10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with milk to help them brown evenly.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
