My parents don’t like sweets, but they are suckers for bread. Pastries, cakes, and puddings are quickly given away or may be left, untouched, on the counter for days, yet bread never seems to last a day in the house. It was the case for these rolls too. On our day trip to 17 Mile Drive, my family snacked on these rolls while listening to the Sherlock Holmes audio book, looking at the beautiful coastal scenery as we drove by, wrapped tight and cozy in our car.
Ingredients
- 300g ( 1–1/3 cups ) water, at room temperature
- 11g ( 3 tsps ) instant yeast
- 100g ( 1/3 cup ) honey
- 555g ( 4–1/4 cup ) white whole wheat flour
- 56g ( 1/2 stick ) Butter, at room temperature
- 10g ( 2 tsps ) Salt
- 1 egg, beaten
Procedure
Place all ingredients in a bread machine and knead until it passes the windowpane test. Let the dough rest at room temp for 1.5 hours. Divide into 14 balls and place in a cake pan or skillet (like I did!) Let rise for a final proof for 1 hour, and preheat the oven to 400F. Brush with one layer of egg wash and bake rolls for 10-12 mins. Wait to cool for at least 15 mins and enjoy!
