Honey Whole Wheat Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dry active yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey, divided
- ½ cup 1% milk
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for rolling)*
Directions
- In a stand mixer, add yeast, water, and 1 tablespoon of the honey.
- Let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Microwave the milk for 1 minute until hot.
- MIx in 2 tablespoons butter.
- Once cool, whisk in eggs, 1 tablespoon honey, and salt.
- Add milk mixture to yeast mixture.
- Using a dough hook, slowly add flour and mix until a ball forms and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. (About 10–15 minutes.)
- Let rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide dough in half.
- On a floured surface, roll half of the dough into a large circle, ¼ inch thick.
- Brush with melted butter.
- Use a pizza cutter and slice into 16 wedges.
- Roll each wedge up, starting at the bottom of the triangle up to the point.
- Place rolls point-side-down on baking sheet.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Allow to rise while oven is preheating to 375°F.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown
- Brush hot rolls with remaining butter.
*You can also use whole wheat flour for rolling out. However, I noticed that it left the tops of the rolls a little gritty, so I would recommend rolling in all-purpose flour.
