How to Make Whole Wheat Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup whole wheat flour. Mix until just combined.
  3. Gradually add 2-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. If needed, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, arranging them in 5 rows of 3.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
