Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat 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
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the risen rolls with beaten egg wash, this will give them a golden crust.
- 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.
- Serve the light wheat rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
