Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 g) warm water 110-115°F
- 1 tablespoon (21 g) honey or 2 tablespoons (26 grams) organic cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons (8 g) active dry yeast
- 1 cup (240 g) whole milk
- 3 tablespoons (42 g) butter cubed or sliced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ¾ - 3 ¼ cups (352-416 g) whole white wheat flour hard white wheat
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve 2 teaspoons active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon honey in ¼ cup warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes, until bubbly.
- Heat 1 cup whole milk to about 110-115°F, add 3 tablespoons butter and stir until melted.
- Add the milk and butter, egg, salt and 1½ cups (192 grams) of flour to the bowl with the yeast mixture. Attach the dough hook and mix on medium/high speed for about 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
- Add enough flour to form a very soft dough. Knead on medium/low speed for about 5-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic ( the dough will still be sticky).
- Place the dough into a well greased bowl, flip it over so the top is greased. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
- Punch down the dough. Turn onto an oiled surface and divide into 12 equal pieces (use a kitchen scale to get them precise).
- Shape each piece into a tight ball and roll around in your palms to make the top smooth. Arrange in a buttered 13x9 inch pan or a 12 inch cast iron skillet. If you want individual rolls, place on a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2” apart.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350℉ about half way through the rise time.
- Bake at 350°F for 23-27 minutes or until golden brown on top and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
