Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly 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 has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 on a wire rack before serving.
