Whole Wheat Rolls

This quickly became our favorite whole wheat roll recipe! They are moist, soft and a little on the denser side. What's funny is I found the recipe on the back of my powdered milk box and their original name is Bread Machine Garlic Dinner Rolls. Ha! I don't own a bread machine, this is a white flour recipe, not wheat, and I have never made garlic rolls out of them! But the base of the recipe that I use turns out great for us and we all love them! They freeze (and unfreeze) wonderfully! Note: I use fresh ground wheat. I feel the store bought whole wheat results are where you get your edible cardboard from! But fresh ground wheat is wonderful and I have made all kinds of white flour recipes with them and hardly notice a difference (even chocolate cookies and brownies! ;). If you want good whole wheat things GRIND IT! :)


6 Tbls. butter, softened
2c. warm water
2/3 c. powdered milk
6T. sugar (or honey)
2tsp. salt
6 c. Bread flour (I use fresh gound whole wheat)
1/2 oz. (2 scant Tbls.) dry yeast
(I leave out the) 2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix wet, knead dry, Let rise, form rolls, rise, Bake at 350 for about 20 min. (For detailed instructions see: Dinner rolls)
