Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup Whole-wheat flour
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Skim milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter, egg, and skim milk to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll.

Step 8

Arrange the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover them lightly with a towel, and let rise again for 30-40 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
