Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted (optional for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and olive oil.

Step 3

Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until a dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 6 minutes on medium speed.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1-2 inches between rolls.

Step 7

Cover the rolls lightly with a towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

If desired, brush the tops of the warm rolls with melted unsalted butter for a softer crust. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
