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

1. In a stand mixer, add yeast, water, and 1 tablespoon of the honey.
2. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
3. Microwave the milk for 1 minute until hot.
4. MIx in 2 tablespoons butter.
5. Once cool, whisk in eggs, 1 tablespoon honey, and salt.
6. Add milk mixture to yeast mixture.
7. 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.)
8. Let rest for 20 minutes.
9. Divide dough in half.
10. On a floured surface, roll half of the dough into a large circle, ¼ inch thick.
11. Brush with melted butter.
12. Use a pizza cutter and slice into 16 wedges.
13. Roll each wedge up, starting at the bottom of the triangle up to the point.
14. Place rolls point-side-down on baking sheet.
15. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
16. Allow to rise while oven is preheating to 375°F.
17. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown
18. 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.
