Perfect Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls Recipe
There’s zero white flour in this recipe yet they are still soft and fluffy and just what a roll should be! And when you spread on a little butter or homemade freezer jam (this is the only jam recipe I use) no one will be able to resist! They would be the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving meal. Everyone will be amazed that they are 100% whole wheat but they are aren’t dense little hockey pucks – rather they’re a fluffy super delicious roll!
I absolutely love both of my white flour roll recipes (these “amazing dinner rolls” and these one hour rolls) but I realize I need to add these wheat ones into that rotation for a healthier option I feel better about feeding my kids. I highly recommend using the white whole wheat flour – it’s still a whole grain flour. It just works better for baking than the traditional wheat flour. You’ll get a lighter texture with the white whole wheat flour.
And don’t omit the wheat gluten – that’s the other key to getting a fluffy wheat roll. It’s a aids in the rising and improves the elasticity. I found some at my local Kroger grocery store – Bob’s Red Mill brand. You can also purchase it online.
If possible serve these warm, it makes them that much better! There’s nothing quite like a homemade roll warm from the oven with homemade freezer jam or creamy, melty butter! Oh so yum!
