Ingredients
Ingredients
milk
1/4 cup
plain yogurt
1/2 cup
honey
1/4 cup (can reduce to 1/8 cup for less sweetness)
butter
4 tablespoons (melted)
egg
1 (beaten)
bread flour
2 cups
whole wheat flour
1 cup
salt
1 teaspoon
active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons
Instructions
1
In a small mixing bowl, microwave the milk, yogurt, honey, and butter for about 1 minute, or until heated through. Stir the mixture until the butter is fully melted and everything is well combined.
2
Pour the heated mixture into the bread machine, followed by the beaten egg.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and active dry yeast. Gradually add this dry mixture to the bread machine over the wet ingredients, following your machine's instructions.
4
Select the 'Dough' cycle on the bread machine and let it run until the cycle is complete.
5
Once the dough cycle ends, lightly flour your work surface and shape the dough into 18 equal rolls, tucking the edges under to create a smooth surface.
6
Arrange the rolls in lightly greased pie pans or your preferred baking dish. Cover the pans with a damp cloth to keep the moisture in while they rise.
7
For an effective rising, place the pans on a preheated electric heating pad set to medium or in a warm spot in your kitchen. Allow the rolls to rise for about 30-40 minutes or until they're visibly doubled in size.
8
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 15-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown on top.
9
When the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with melted butter while they're still warm for added flavor and sheen.
