Add the warm water, honey, and olive oil to the bread machine’s pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly around the edges of the pan to avoid direct contact with the yeast at this stage.
Add the whole wheat flour and sprinkle the vital wheat gluten evenly over the top.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast to the well, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water initially.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and press start. This will mix, knead, and allow the dough to rise properly.
Once the dough cycle is complete (typically 1.5 hours), remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions for large rolls or 16 portions for smaller buns. Shape each portion into a smooth ball or desired shape.
Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them for rising.
Cover the shaped rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until they’ve doubled in size.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool the rolls on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
