Ingredients

  • 4 Tb. active dry yeast
  • 2 Tb. + 2/3 c. sugar, divided
  • 2 c. warm water , 110-115 degrees
  • 2 c. warm milk, 110-115 degrees
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2/3 c. canola oil
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 4 c. whole wheat flour
  • 4 1/2-5 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c. butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 Tb, sugar in warm water. Add the milk, eggs, oil, salt, remaining sugar, and whole-wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours. Punch dough down. Divided into thirds. Cover and refrigerate two portions. Turn the remaining portion onto a lightly floured surface; roll or pat to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a lightly floured 2 1/2" biscuit cutter. Repeat with remaining dough. Place rolls 2 1/2" apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter. Remove to wire racks.
