Tall, fluffy and light- not usually words you associate with whole wheat right? Well, these rolls are all of those things and more! They are made with 100% whole wheat, get a little sweetness from honey and richness from eggs and milk. All in all, the perfect roll.
To start making these, I milled some white wheat berries in my grain mill and creamed some milk. Such a hard life I live with all of this good food around me! I looked the recipe over and although it originally called for being made in a stand mixer, I decided to try it out in my bread machine. Success!! My Kitchen Aid is on the fritz so being able to make these in the bread machine was an especially good thing.
I found the recipe on An Oregon Cottage and it’s a keeper. I can’t wait to serve these up with our tomato soup tonight! My family loves them and I am confident that you family will too.
100% Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
My Latest Videos
- 2 Tablespoons yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
- 4 1/2 to 5 cups whole wheat flour* (hard white wheat or hard red wheat both work great)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
Keep an eye on the dough while it mixes, this will be a softer dough. You should be able to touch it and not have it stick to your finger, but feel tacky. Add in a little more flour if your dough it too soft and just a sticky blob. It will form a ball when it’s just right.

I don’t have a bread machine and not being an experienced bread marker I am not sure about rising times. All I know is the rolls should rise twice? I would love to use this recipe it looks great and I want a 100% whole wheat roll! I think I would make these ahead if time and after the first rise refrigerate until ready to bake. Ant
Y thoughts?
From Charley: Proof your yeast in a mixing bowl, then add the other ingredients and flour. Mix well, turn out on a floured surface to knead. Knead in enough extra flour to make the dough soft, but not sticky. Cover and let raise until double in bulk. Shape rolls and place in pan, cover and let raise until double in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees and brush tops with melted butter.
Thanks so much! I am looking forward to serving these for the holidays.
HappyThanksgiving.
2-Tablespoons of yeast seems like a lot for two dozen dinner rolls
