• Yeast - In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk (or warm water), yeast, and honey. Use a whisk or wooden spoon to combine well.
  360 grams Warm milk, 30 grams Honey, 9 grams Instant dry yeast, 60 grams Unsalted butter
• Combine - Measure the white flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a large bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add the yeast mixture and combine on medium-high speed until all the flour is well incorporated.
  250 grams Whole wheat flour, 250 grams All-purpose flour, 9 grams Salt
• Knead - Continue to knead on medium speed for 10 to 12 minutes until you have a soft, smooth, and elastic dough.
• Bowl - When the dough is soft, shiny, but still slightly sticky, shape it into a ball. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, seam side down. Coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent drying. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
• First rise - Leave in a warm place. Let rise for 60 to 90 minutes until it doubles in volume.
• Divide - When the dough is doubled in volume, transfer to a well-dusted floured surface, degas, and reshape into a ball. Then, roll into a small log.
• Using a dough scraper, divide this log into three portions and then each of those portions into three again. This should give you nine equal pieces/ large dinner rolls.

Shape and Bake

• Shape - Hold each piece of dough in your hand and gather all the seams together. Pinch the seams at the bottom, then place the ball on a non-floured surface while still holding it in your hand.

  Loosen the grip on the dough and roll back and forth into a tight circle against the work surface. You will feel the dough become tight and smooth.
• Proof - Grease or spray a 9 x 9 square baking pan. Place the rolls in the pan. Seam side down. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes until almost doubled in size.
• Oven - When the rolls are almost doubled in volume at about 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 375°F /190°C / Gas Mark 5
• Egg wash - Brush the rolls with milk, cream, or egg wash.
• Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes until lightly golden on top. When baked, brush with melted butter.
• Cool - Take them out of the pan and cover them with a clean kitchen cloth for at least 5 minutes to keep them soft.
