Honey-Wheat Rolls

A world without bread would be all misery. So, if you are tired of trying to make homemade bread because it takes days and endless amounts of kneading, try again. This recipe requires no kneading and takes less time. They're pretty to look at too.

Ingredients:


1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water, divided
2 egg whites
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus some for flouring your work surface
melted butter


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl or measuring cup, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. While yeast is dissolving, beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until foamy.

2. Add yeast mixture, honey, oil, salt, whole wheat flour and 1 cup warm water. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until mixture is smooth and ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Stir in all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Dough will be sticky. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

4. Punch dough down with a fist. Turn out onto a floured surface. Dust dough with a small amount of all-purpose flour so it doesn't stick to your hands or knife. Cut dough in half. Then cut each section into 10 portions to form balls.

5. Roll each ball into a 10-inch rope and tie into a loose knot. Tuck the ends under so they don't stick out. Place rolls on greased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches in between rolls.

6. Cover baking sheets loosely with cling wrap and let rise for 50 minutes, or until rolls have doubled in size. Bake for 10 minutes, or until light golden brown.

7. Remove from oven and immediately brush tops of rolls with melted butter. Enjoy!
