One step at a time
Let’s make it
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add melted butter, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to form a soft dough.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Cover again and let rise for 15 minutes.
- Bake at 375 b0F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush tops with a little melted butter, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
Use warm (not hot) water for activating yeast to ensure proper rising.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat rolls in a 350 b0F oven covered with foil for 10 minutes if frozen.
