Fluffy Honey Wheat Dinner Rolls

These rolls are truly fluffy and delicious.  I have tried many recipes with whole wheat flour and the rolls kept on being too dense.  However, these rolls did come out nice, fluffy and yummy, and they stay like that for days.  It's also nice to be able to use my wheat from the food storage.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-4 cups whole wheat flour

-4 cups white all purpose flour, divided

-1 1/2 cups milk, warmed up

-1 1/2 cup hot water (from the tap)

-1/2 cup honey

-2 tsp salt

-3/4 cup margarine

-2 Tbs yeast

-melted butter or butter spray for brushing rolls while hot

Directions:Preheat oven to 170 F.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.

Place wheat flour, 2 cups of the white flour, and the honey into your mixer bowl.  Combine well.  Add the warm milk and hot water.  Once well combined, add salt and margarine.  Blend for 1 minute.  Add the yeast and mix for about 30 seconds.  Add the rest of the white flour and mix well.  Once the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, turn the mixer to medium speed and  let the dough mix for 5 minutes.

Shape the dough into rolls and place on prepared sheets.  Place in warm oven and let the rolls rise for 15 minutes.

Turn the oven up to 350 F, leaving the rolls in there while the temperature rises.  Allow them to bake until golden brown, for about 15 minutes (this includes the time it took the oven to get to 350 F).

Remove from the oven, brush/spray with butter.  Enjoy!
