Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (initial amount for mixing)
  • 1.5 cups remaining whole wheat flour (additional flour for kneading)
  • 2 tablespoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 1.5 cups warm milk 105-110 F
  • 6 tablespoons butter at room temperature (softened)
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted (for brushing)

Instructions 

  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Mix 2 cups of flour, yeast, honey, salt, warm milk, softened butter, and egg in a bowl using a dough hook until combined.
  • Gradually add remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides and is slightly sticky; knead for 2 minutes.
  • Let dough rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, then punch down and divide into 24 portions; shape into rolls.
  • Place rolls in prepared dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden; brush tops with melted butter immediately after baking.

Notes

For softer rolls, cover with a clean towel during rising.
