• porciones: 24 servings
• tiempo activo: 2 hours 30 minutes
• tiempo total: 2 hours 55 minutes

Ingredientes

2 tablespoons active dry yeast* (instant works, too) OR 2 packets of yeast)

1/2 cup warm water (90 to 110 degrees)

1/2 cup butter, (softened (can use oil)

1/4 cup honey (can use cane sugar or maple syrup)

3 large eggs (comments have said flax eggs work for those with allergies)

1 cup lukewarm buttermilk or milk (or milk substitute), 95-100 degrees)

4½ to 5 cups whole wheat flour** (regular red hard wheat - hard white or golden wheat works, as well as spelt)

1 ½ teaspoons sea salt (regular grain salt, not kosher or coarse grind)

Instrucciones

Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water in a glass measure and set aside.

Cream the butter and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or with a wooden spoon by hand). Add the eggs and mix, scraping the sides. Add the warmed milk along with the yeast mixture.

Add 4½ cups of flour and the salt, mixing until combined. Change to dough hook and knead about 2 minutes only, just until no longer tacky, adding a tablespoon or two of flour at a time, if needed. (Do not add too much - KEY.) Alternately by hand: Knead a minute or two on a lightly floured surface just until smoother and still a bit tacky. Just be very careful not to add too much flour.

Let sit in bowl, covered, to rise for one hour. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then let rest 3 minutes.

Divide into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball and placing in a buttered or oiled 13x9-inch baking dish with the pieces touching.

Let rise, covered for 1 hour, until the rolls have filled in up to the top of the pan to about an 1/2 above the pan (if it's warm, you may need less time - do not let them overproof).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. TIP: Set timer for 45 minutes to start oven preheating and then set for the last 15 minutes.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
