Serves: 9
Ingredients
  • 2 ¼ tsp rapid rise yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus one TBS for kneading
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour, plus one TBS for kneading
  • 1 TBS sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup water, heated to 120 F
  • 3 TBS oil, avocado, canola or vegetable
  • 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
  1. Grease a 9x9 baking pan and set aside.
  2. Stir together yeast, 1 cup white whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in the heated water, oil and egg. Mix on low with a dough hook for 3-4 minutes, adding the remaining flour 1 TBS at a time as the mixture starts to look sticky in the bowl. The dough should be smooth and elastic when finished mixing with the dough hook, and may still stick to the sides of the bowl.
  3. Scoop dough out of the mixing bowl and place on a clean, floured working surface. Divide into 9 portions. This is easiest if you divide it into thirds, then divide each third into thirds. Form each portion into a ball by flattening it slightly, and folding four corners into the center, and pinching the seam shut. This creates tension over the top so the bread rises well. Place each roll seam side down in the greased baking pan.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the rolls on the stove top and cover the baking pan with a damp kitchen towel for 15-30 minutes, or until the dough is puffy (see photos). A little heat from the preheating oven will help the dough start rising, and the damp towel prevents them from drying out.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
