Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a saucepan, warm the milk (do not boil), then transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add honey, olive oil, and salt to the warm milk, stirring well to combine.
Once the yeast is frothy, add it to the milk mixture.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing well each time with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer.
Add the all-purpose flour and continue to mix until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large, greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release gases, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface again.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a roll by pinching the bottom to create a smooth top.
Place the rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, cover, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes, until doubled in size again.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a soft and shiny finish.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
