Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

January 2, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Howdy Folks,

Well today I am big batch cooking, since I go back to work tomorrow and it’s so nice to come home to a half a prepared meal.  Makes making dinner so much easier.  Do you big batch cook?  If not, I highly recommend it.  It’s amazing the foods you can freeze, like bread, cookies, rice, sauces, chili, vegetables and more.  I freeze just about everything I won’t use, so far no problems.

This weeks first big batch is Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls.  These rolls are a perfect size for dinner, for sliders or a sandwich.  I made them 2.5 oz each, but if you make them 3oz, they’ll make a perfect hamburger roll.

I got 19 rolls out of this batch, ate one for dinner and froze the rest.  To freeze them I just place them in freezer bags.  There are two way you can defrost them, the quickest is to microwave them for about 20 – 30 seconds then throw them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up.  Thats my favorite way, then they taste like you just baked them.  Or if you know you will be having them for dinner, take them out of the freezer and place on the counter to defrost.  Bread is so nice to freeze.  I also defrost quick breads the same way.  Take them out of the freezer the night before and in the morning you have nice soft bread waiting for you!


This was my first attempt of making whole wheat rolls, and I must say I am very pleased.  There soft, slightly sweet but not to much and there healthy.  You know what I put in them?  Cooked, Coaches Oats Oatmeal.   You would have no idea that oatmeal were in the rolls.  You don’t see them, nor do you taste them, but they are in there.  I also added some Wheat Germ for added protein.

Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

1 cups water

1/3 cup coaches oats or cracked wheat

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or one .25 ounce packet)

1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/3 cup warm water

2 tablespoons butter (I used Brumble & Brown)

1 tablespoon table salt

2 tablespoons molasses (I used Black Strap Molasses)

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup warm milk (I non-fat milk)

2 tablespoons wheat germ

3 cup whole wheat flour

2 cups all purpose flour

1 egg white—for an egg wash

Directions:

In a small saucepan, bring the 1 cup water and the Coaches Oats to a boil, turn down to medium low and simmer for about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve the yeast in a medium sized bowl with 1/3 cup warm water and the sugar. Stir together, then let sit 10 minutes.

Add the Coach Oats mixture to yeast mixture and add the butter, salt, molasses, honey, wheat germ and milk to the bowl of an electric mixer and with the paddle attachment, mix together to combine.

Add the one cup of whole wheat flour and two cups of the all purpose flour. Mix until well combined. Clean off the paddle attachment, scrape the sides of the bowl and add the dough attachment to the mixer.

With the mixer going on low speed, add the remaining whole wheat flour a little at a time until the dough starts coming together.

After two of the remaining cups are added, let the mixer “”knead” the dough for a minute or so. If it is still sticking to the sides, add about 1/4 cup more flour, let it mix. Keep adding a little flour at a time until the ball of dough no longer sticks to the sides. Let it knead for 8-10 minutes on medium-low speed. Remove the bowl from the mixer.

Take the dough out of the bowl and spray it with cooking spray. Return the ball of dough to the bowl, cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm, dry place for an hour until doubled in size (mine took almost 2 hours).

Punch down the dough and make 2.50 ounce sized balls of dough—you’ll get about 19 rolls. Set them on a baking sheet and cover with a tea towel. Let them rise for about 45 minutes.

During the last 20 minutes of rise time, preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Fill a dutch oven or oven safe pot with water and place on the lowest shelf of the oven, this will add steam in the oven.

Brush each roll with egg wash. Bake the rolls for 17-23 minutes (you may have to do this in two batches, unless you have a huge oven). Let the rolls sit on the baking sheet sit for a few minutes, then remove rolls from pan and place on a wire rack to  cool completely.

NOTE:  Due to the molasses, the rolls will have a brown tone, so when your baking them, make sure the bottom has a light brown color to them, at first I thought I was over cooking the rolls, and I wasn’t, 19 minutes seemed to be perfect amount of time.

Serving Size: 19 – 2.5 oz rolls

Calories per roll:  145,  Fat:  1.2,  Cholesterol:  .03,  Sodium:  20,  Potassium:  117,  Carbs:  29,  Fiber:  3,  Sugar:  3.8,  Protein:  4.9

Don’t let making bread intimidate you!  If I can do it, anyone can.  Jessica from How Sweet It Is, told me my life would change if I got a dough hook for my mixer, and she was right!  I love making bread.  I don’t know why, but there’s nothing like the smell of bread baking in the oven and best of all eating fresh bread, that YOU made!  Yum!!  Encase you didn’t know I am kind of bread crazy!  “Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am a bread addict!”  It’s just so good, and honestly I think bread gets a bad wrap because of the carbs and grains.  I think it’s ok to have in moderation, and no diet, weight loss program will ever tell me different.  I love bread to much to give up!!    Just look at it!!

Hopefully I have convinced you to make bread, if not, I’ll keep trying.  What is your favorite kind of bread?

Ok, I’m done lecturing you about how great bread is!  I just want to tell you to have a wonderful Monday and go bake some bread!!  🙂

    A dough hook (and a mixer in general) have definitely changed my bread-making life for the better! I love having meals or meal starters in the freezer, but don’t do it nearly often enough!

    These look amazing! I make my own wheat sandwich bread (the BEST!) but I’ve never attempted whole wheat dinner rolls. They are as pretty and as nice as any I’ve ever seen at restaurants…you’d NEVER know it was your first attempt!

      Hi,

      I have never grind my own wheat, but I think that would be pretty cool too! Have you ever? Is it hard? Do you need special equipment? I grinded oats before and almonds, but thats about it.

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
