Remember what I said about Whole Wheat Flour and Honey in my last post?  Well this is our favorite dinner roll recipe and it has been made with Whole Wheat and Honey as long as I can remember.  Now we do usually use part Whole Wheat, part Unbleached All-Purpose, but it can also be made with full Whole Wheat as the above pictured rolls were.

 

1 ¼ cups Warm Milk

¼ cup Butter, melted

3 tablespoons Honey

1 Egg, slightly beaten

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

2 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

½ teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoons Instant Yeast

  Chuck it all into a bread machine, put it on the Dough setting and let it run it's course.  Then shape into 24 rolls, place in a greased 8x11 glass casserole.  Let rise for 30 minutes, than bake on 400° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

  Or, if making them by hand...

  Dissolve Yeast and Salt in Milk.  Stir in Butter, Honey and Egg.  Beat in 2 cups of Flour.  Then stir the rest in, stirring until dough leaves sides of bowl.  Knead until smooth and elastic.  Place in greased bowl, grease top and cover with plastic.  Let rise until double.  Punch down.  Divide into 24 and proceed as above instructed.
