​Whole wheat rolls that are light and fluffy and delicious are my weakness.  I think I could eat an entire pan of these.

​This recipe came from www.anoregoncottage.com.  She titled her recipe 100% soft whole wheat dinner rolls.  I have certainly made my fair share of dense and heavy whole wheat rolls so I was ready to try something that claimed to be lighter. 
I had intended to make them completely out of whole wheat flour but I ran out so I had to use a couple of cups of bread flour as well.  They turned out REALLY delicious but I want to try them again with exclusively whole wheat flour.

Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls 
Makes 24
2 Tb. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/4 c. honey
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk or milk  (I used 2 % lactaid milk)
4-1/2-5 cups whole wheat flour  (I used a combination of whole wheat and white bread flour.)
1-1/2 tsp. salt
​Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water in a glass measure. Set aside.
Cream the butter and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.

​Add the eggs and mix, scraping the sides.  Add the milk and yeast mixture.
​Add 4-1/2 cups of flour and the salt, mixing until combined.

​Change to dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes only, just until no longer tacky, adding a tablespoon or two of flour, if needed.
​Place in a greased bowl, covered, to rise for one hour.

​Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then let rest 3 minutes.
Divide into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball and placing in a buttered 13×9-inch baking dish with the pieces touching.  ​Let rise, covered for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

​Cool on wire rack or cutting board.

​I can practically smell these warm rolls through my computer monitor.

​Light and fluffy whole wheat rolls - yes, please.  I'm going to have to do a whole lot more crunches - but it's totally worth it.  These rolls are awesome.

Ciao!
