Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter, for greasing and brushing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, warm milk, honey, and instant yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly and foamy.
Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for kneading.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Arrange the dough balls in the dish, spaced evenly.
Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes, or until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for added flavor and shine.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy fresh or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
