These yeast rolls don't require kneading, and the make-ahead dough saves you time on the day of your meal. I love the hint of honey, too. —Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

Overnight Honey-Wheat Rolls Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
2 egg whites
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add the yeast mixture, honey, oil, salt, whole wheat flour and remaining water. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into nine balls. To form knots, roll each ball into a 10-in. rope; tie into a knot. Tuck ends under.
Place rolls 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

I made these for Thankgiving and everyone at both celebrations loved them and they were so easy! I did make one change to the recipe using one whole egg instead of 2 egg whites. I mixed the dough Wednesday evening, then traveled out of state with it in the cooler, punched down the dough and used half on Thursday and the rest on Friday. Now it is our Family Favorite!

I enjoy making bread from scratch and so far this is the best recipe I have found. One of the easiest recipes with the best return. Delicious bread. Wouldn't change a thing about it.
