How to Make Whole Wheat Rye Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ 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 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup rye flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth roll.
  6. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with milk or egg wash for a golden-brown crust.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
