Zubereitung von Awesome Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
- If using a stand mixer, fit it with the dough hook. (Hand-kneading is also an option!)
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of honey in 1/2 cup of warm water (105-115°F).
- Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the warm honey water.
- Let stand undisturbed for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey.
- Add approximately 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until just combined.
- Add the yeast mixture and blend on low speed until incorporated.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 1/2 - 3 cups of whole wheat flour, kneading on low speed for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve the right consistency (dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky).
- Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll out half of the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Using a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter, or a glass, cut out as many circles as possible.
- Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
- Brush each circle with melted butter.
- Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape.
- Place the rolls onto a greased baking sheet.
- Cover loosely with wax paper and let rise in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can brown quickly!
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
