Preparation

Step 1

Combine whole wheat flour, undissolved yeast and sugar in large bowl. Heat milk, water, and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees). Add 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and salt to mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining all-purpose flour to make dough soft. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover. Let rise 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls. Place in greased 8 or 9-inch round pan. Cover. Let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size--about 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until done. Remove from pan. Brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.
