Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
- 1 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, salt, olive oil, and warm milk to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour, stirring to combine, followed by 2 cups of the all-purpose flour. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, adding the remaining 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour as needed to prevent sticking, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a greased baking sheet or in a greased baking dish, about 1-2 inches apart. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free classic yeast rolls warm!
