Basic Dinner Rolls


I have been learning so much about healthy eating lately and so I changed my roll recipe. Healthier than it was before, but still not as healthy as it could be... a little at a time though. :-)
These take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours total, from the start to taking the last batch out of the oven. It's really a fast roll recipe. You don't have to wait for them to rise. The smaller you make your rolls the faster they bake.

Basic Dinner Rolls
2 c. warm whole milk
2 TB yeast
2 TB honey
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 TB butter
2 c. whole wheat flour
2-3 c. white flour
Mix all together in a mixer with a dough hook, adding just enough flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the sides of bowl as it mixes. Let knead for 5 to 10 min. Roll out into desired shape.
Bake at 350˚ for about 20 minutes (for the large rolls like these, if you make them smaller, bake 10-15 minutes, depending on the size. The tops should be a light brown.


So this is what I do: separate into 2 blobs of dough. (I bet there's a more technical term for that...)


Roll out to about a 15" circle. (More or less.)






Cut into pie shape wedges with a pizza cutter.










Start rolling from the wide end of the wedge to make a crescent roll look.








Continue rolling.






Ah, all rolled up!









Place on baking pan.







Put the first batch in the oven, allow the next batch to rise.









Serve warm with butter.

YUM!!
