Instructions

Butter will keep for 4-6 weeks in the fridge.1/2 stick butter, 1 pinch dried thyme, 1 pinch dried parsley, 1 pinch dried rosemary, 1 pinch dried basil, 1 pinch dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic pepper, 1 pinch black pepper, 1 pinch seasoned salt, 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
For the Wheat Dinner Rolls
- In a mixing bowl stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until mixture foams; about 10-15 minutes.1 1/2 cups warm water, 3 1/2 tsp dry active yeast, 2 Tb sugar
- While you're waiting, combine the two flours and mix well.
- When the yeast mixture is ready, add the butter, salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour mixture and mix until ingredients come together. I just used a spatula for this step.2 Tb butter, 1 tsp salt, 2 1/2 cups wheat pastry flour
- Continue to add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until mixture begins to clean the sides of the bowl (add more flour if necessary).1 cup whole wheat flour
- Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.
- Knead dough until smooth and elastic (dough will be slightly sticky), about 5 minutes. I used my bread hook for this.
- Form dough into equal sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet so they are not touching. I made two sheets of 8 rolls. One sheet I cooked immediately, one I froze.
- Let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
- Brush rolls with melted butter.2 Tb butter
- Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- To freeze rolls - after they have risen, place the entire cookie sheet into the freezer overnight, then transfer to a ziploc freezer bag. To prepare, brush frozen rolls with butter and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
