Honey Whole Wheat Rolls Recipe

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whisk together water yeast and sugar then let rest 5 minutes to proof.

Meanwhile, place eggs in a bowl, cover with warm water and let rest 5 minutes (this is just to bring them to room temperature so the rolls rise better.

Add butter, honey, eggs, salt and milk to the yeast mixture and blend. Then add in lemon juice, vital wheat gluten and 2 cups of the wheat flour and blend.

Switch to a dough hook, then add remaining 2 cups wheat flour and knead mixture on low (2nd speed) for 4 minutes, while adding in a little more flour as needed (dough should stick to bottom of bowl but not sides near the end of mixing, also it should not stick to your fingertip)

Cover bowl and let rest 1 hour.

Punch dough and divide into 15 equal portions. You can use a scale to make them even and you can also roll into a rectangle then cut into 15 equal portions

Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and place rolls in baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap (while leaving room for the rolls to expand under the plastic wrap).

Let rest until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F during last 20 minutes of rolls rising.

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown on top and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes (they should register 190 degrees in center)

Brush tops with butter (about 1 Tbsp, I just run the stick of butter over the tops). Serve warm or let cool on a wire rack then store in an airtight container.
