Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whisk together water yeast and sugar then let rest 5 minutes to proof.
- Meanwhile, place eggs in a bowl, cover with warm water and let rest 5 minutes (this is just to bring them to room temperature so the rolls rise better.
- Add butter, honey, eggs, salt and milk to the yeast mixture and blend. Then add in lemon juice, vital wheat gluten and 2 cups of the wheat flour and blend.
- Switch to a dough hook, then add remaining 2 cups wheat flour and knead mixture on low (2nd speed) for 4 minutes, while adding in a little more flour as needed (dough should stick to bottom of bowl but not sides near the end of mixing, also it should not stick to your fingertip).
- Cover bowl and let rest 1 hour.
- Punch dough dough and divide into 15 equal portions (I like to use my scale to make them even, you can also roll into a rectangle then cut into 15 equal portions).
- Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and place rolls in baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap (while leaving room for the rolls to expand under the plastic wrap).
- Let rest until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees during last 20 minutes of rolls rising.
- Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown on top and cooked through, about 12 - 15 minutes (they should register 190 degrees in center).
- Brush tops with butter (about 1 Tbsp, I just run the stick of butter over the tops). Serve warm or let cool on a wire rack then store in an airtight container.
- *If you don't want the full flavor of the whole wheat rolls you can substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour in place of 2 cups of the wheat flour. If doing so omit vital wheat gluten.*Also if you can't find white whole wheat flour regular whole wheat flour may be substituted they just may not be quite as fluffy.
