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.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
