Prep Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2-2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg white
Preparation:
In large bowl, combine 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup flour, yeast, salt, egg, and egg yolk along with warm milk mixture. Beat with a mixer for 3 minutes, or beat by hand for 300 strokes. Then add the remaining 1-2/3 cups flour and beat by hand for 2 minutes longer. The dough will be very soft and sticky.
Cover bowl and place in warm place. Let the dough rise until light and doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Grease 2-8" round cake pans with unsalted butter or solid shortening or spray with nonstick baking spray containing flour.
Stir down dough, beating for 1 minute. Then drop the dough by tablespoons into a single layer in each prepared pan, forming 10 rolls per pan.
In a small bowl, combine sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and egg white and mix well. Drizzle half of this mixture over the rolls. Then cover the rolls and let rise again in a warm place until doubled in size, about 25-30 minutes. Drizzle remaining topping over rolls.
Then bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 22-27 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Immediately remove from pans and cool on wire racks. Makes 20 rolls
