Slightly Sweet Wheat Rolls
Slightly sweet wheat rolls perfect for when you're craving a Hawaiian roll.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- ⅓ cup raw sugar or honey
- 2 ¼ tsp. active dry yeast
- 2 Tbsp. oil plus enough for coating dough.
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Put sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Pour in warm water and mix well. Allow yeast to proof for about 10 minutes, until it is foamy on top.
- Stir in the honey, oil and salt.
- Add the whole wheat flour and one cup of the all-purpose flour to the liquid mix, stirring well. Start adding the third cup of flour until dough forms a soft ball. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead in the rest of the flour until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil the bowl and add the dough, turning to coat. Cover bowl with a cloth and allow dough to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Lightly grease a 9 x 9 baking pan.
- Cut dough into 12 equal portions and form into balls. Place equally spaced in the prepared pan.
- Cover and allow the rolls to rose until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until when tapped, rolls make a hollow sound and are golden brown.
- Brush tops with butter while rolls are still hot.
