Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your rolls bake evenly and rise properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, measure out 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Stir these wet ingredients together until they are combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the milk and oil mixture into this well. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the mixture until it begins to come together into a dough. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Once the dough is formed, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a little extra all-purpose flour as needed.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. This spacing allows the rolls to expand as they bake.
- Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the dough to rise slightly.
- After the resting period, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for dinner or as a snack!
Tips
- • Use room temperature milk for better dough consistency • Don't overmix the dough - this can make your rolls tough • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum rise • For extra softness, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking • If the dough feels too sticky, add flour gradually, just a teaspoon at a time • Let the rolls rest for 10 minutes before baking to help them develop a better texture • Check doneness by tapping the bottom of a roll - it should sound hollow • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven for that fresh-baked taste
