Homemade Whole Wheat Rolls

Our family has come to expect my husband's grandma to make these rolls for every gathering. With their simple down-home flavor, they're great for sandwiches or just topped with butter. —Kerry Luce, Woodstock, Vermont

24 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons molasses
2 eggs
GLAZE:
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
Sesame or poppy seeds, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat
flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk, oil and
molasses to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients. Add eggs;
beat on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium for 3 minutes.
Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Divide in half; shape each portion into 12 balls.
