Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in a 1/4 cup of warm water. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add yeast mixture, honey, oil, salt, whole wheat flour and remaining water. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky–and I had to add a tablespoon of water to make it moist, due to the humidity in my kitchen). Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a well-floured surface, divide in half. Shape each portion into nine-balls. To form knots, roll each ball into a 10-in rope; tie into a knot. Tuck ends under. Place rolls 2-inch apart on a greased baking sheets.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes. Bake at 375 degree for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired.
