Overnight Whole Wheat Rolls

I love to bake and even have a small business selling bread. Making rolls and bread from scratch is an art easily mastered with practice. The swirled shape of these rolls is very attractive.

30 ServingsPrep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup butter, melted, divided
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
Additonal melted butter

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1/2 cup butter,
honey, salt, eggs, whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to
form a soft dough.
Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in
half. Roll each into a 15-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Brush with
remaining butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly-roll
style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each into
15 rolls.
