Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a rough dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
6. Arrange the dough balls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Brush the risen rolls with beaten egg wash, this will give them a golden crust.
9. Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
10. Serve the light wheat rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
