One Hour Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
Description
One Hour Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls combines whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour and sweet honey to create a soft bread roll with a gentle sweetness and wholesome taste. The recipe uses warm milk and melted butter to enrich the dough, bringing a tender crumb and slight richness. Dry active yeast is dissolved in warm water to start a quick rise, and the dough is kneaded by mixer until elastic yet still slightly sticky to the touch.
The rolls are formed and allowed to rise in a warm spot, which speeds the proofing process, enabling the entire preparation and baking to finish within one hour. They bake to a golden color with a soft but structured texture, suitable for accompanying soups, salads, or any meal where fresh bread is welcome.
These rolls present a nice balance of texture and flavor from using whole wheat flour without being dense, thanks to the combination with all-purpose flour and adequate rising time. The slight sweetness from honey pairs well with savory dishes and offers a pleasant flavor finish.
To create an ideal warm spot for rising, briefly warming the oven and then turning it off before placing the dough inside helps maintain consistent warmth. Different types of milk may affect the richness slightly, and the amount of honey can be adjusted for sweetness preferences.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- 3 ½ teaspoons dry active yeast
- 3/4 cup water 105F - 115F, warm
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch metal baking pan; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, stir milk, honey, and 4 tablespoons butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and honey dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until yeast is foamy.
- Add the whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- With the mixer still going, add remaining all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup at a time. You may not need to use all of the flour.
- Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clear the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
- Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 15 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 15 equal pieces.
- Form each piece into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover the baking sheet with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
- Bake at 375ºF for about 12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Toward the end of the baking time, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside.
- Brush rolls with melted butter.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk, from skim to whole, with whole milk providing a richer result.
- Honey adds gentle sweetness; adjust quantity between 2-1/4 to 1/3 cup as preferred.
- Salted butter is used here but unsalted can substitute if desired.
- To make a warm rising spot, preheat your oven to 350°F for about a minute, then turn it off before placing the dough inside.
- Ensure water temperature for yeast activation is between 105°F and 115°F for best yeast activity.
