Time 3h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 ¾ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, beaten
2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix sugar, salt, 1/4 cup melted butter, egg, and whole wheat flour into yeast mixture. Stir in all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled again, about 30 minutes.
  • Grease 2 dozen muffin cups. Punch down dough, and divide into two equal portions. Roll each into a 6x14 inch rectangle, and cut rectangle into twelve 7x1 inch strips. Roll strips up into spirals, and place into muffin cups. Brush tops with melted butter. Let rise uncovered in a warm place 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and brush again with melted butter.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast: Before starting the dough, activate the yeast in warm water with a little sugar. This will help ensure that the yeast is alive and active, resulting in a better rise for your rolls.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps develop the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and texture. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should be placed in a warm place to rise, such as a warm oven or a sunny windowsill. This will help the dough rise more quickly and evenly.
  • Shape the rolls carefully: Once the dough has risen, shape the rolls into the desired shape. Be gentle with the dough and avoid over-handling it, as this can result in tough rolls.
  • Proof the rolls before baking: Before baking the rolls, allow them to proof for 15-20 minutes. This will help the rolls rise more evenly and give them a better flavor.

Conclusion:

Making light wheat rolls at home is a fun and rewarding experience. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can create delicious, soft, and fluffy rolls that are perfect for any occasion. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, knead the dough properly, and let the dough rise in a warm place. With a little patience and attention to detail, you can enjoy freshly baked light wheat rolls that are sure to impress your family and friends.
