Easy to make whole wheat dinner rolls will be a hit at your next holiday party! Only one rise required so these freshly baked rolls will be a quick and simple homemade bread recipe.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour or white whole wheat
  • 2 envelopes rapid rise yeast Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for dough, more if desired to top rolls
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg lightly beaten for egg wash

Special Equipment

Instructions

  • Combine whole wheat flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water, and butter until very warm (120ºF to 130ºF). Add to flour mixture.
  • Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add ¼ cup all-purpose flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough, up to 1 ¼ cup flour. Knead using the dough hook attachment or on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8 or 9-inch round pan.
  • Cover rolls lightly with foil or a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm draft-free area until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake at 375ºF oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.
