Description
Soft, golden dinner rolls made with fresh‑milled hard white wheat. Fluffy, slightly sweet, and perfect for any meal — simple ingredients, big homestead flavor.
Ingredients
• 2 cups hot water (110°F)
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp honey, divided
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup oil
• 780 g fresh‑milled hard white wheat flour
• 2 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Mix hot water, yeast, and 1 tbsp honey. Let bloom until foamy.
2. Add remaining honey, egg, oil, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Add half the flour and mix into a thick batter.
4. Slowly add the remaining flour until a sticky dough forms.
5. Turn onto a floured surface and knead about 15 minutes, until windowpane.
6. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled.
7. Punch down, shape into rolls using surface tension, and place in a greased pan.
8. Let rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.
9. Bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes, until golden.
10. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
• Fresh‑milled flour absorbs more water, so the dough should feel soft and slightly tacky.
• Knead until the dough reaches windowpane for the fluffiest rolls.
• Let the dough rise in a warm spot — a preheated, turned‑off oven works great.
• Brush the rolls with melted butter right after baking for a soft, glossy top.
