Whole Wheat Rolls


These are the most moist, yummy rolls ever.



And, they are ready to eat in 40 minutes!

Amazing :)

The recipe is adapted from another hamburger roll recipe on my blog.  I created this version when I went to make rolls a few weeks ago without any eggs!  I wasn't sure how they would turn out -- but they were fantastic.  So, this weekend, I tried to see if I could re-create these rolls again, and I did with success.


The key to these rolls... don't over bake them!  They have a nice chewy texture that I love.

100% Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls - Adapted from Lynn's Kitchen Adventure
{Print Recipe}

1 1/2 T yeast
1 C + 1 T warm water
1/3 C oil
1/4 C sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 C White Whole Wheat Flour

Begin by dissolving the yeast in the water.  Let sit for 3-5 minutes until yeast is foamy.

Add in the oil, sugar and salt.

Then, add in the flour, 1 C at a time {I did this in my kitchen aid} stirring until incorporated.

Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes, until the dough is well formed and easy to work with.  Add additional flour as needed to get the dough to become workable.

Divide the dough into 9-12 sections and roll into balls.  {9 if you'd like larger rolls, 12 if you'd like smaller ones}.


Place the rolls on a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Cover with a tea towel.


Set in a warm place and allow the dough to rise/rest for ~20 minutes.

Then, bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.


Cool on a wire cooling rack for 5ish minutes.



Then, transfer to a bread basket until you're ready to eat!

I cannot wait to try these. I finally found a local source of grass fed beef and I will be planting tomatoes and onions. . . the only thing I was searching for was a great homemade hamburger roll to make the perfect burger. Thanks for sharing!

I am always looking for a new roll recipe...I like the one I have been using but want a softer roll more like store bought.

Those look great! Where do you get your white whole wheat flour? I guess it may just be in my local grocery store, but I've never looked.

These look great!! Can the dough be made in the bread maker??

SnoWhite said...

Hi Tina,

I bet you could make them in the bread machine -- I've never tried it. Because they have a fast rise, I've just always done them by hand! Let me know if you try them.

Michelle said...

I so would like to make this.The only problem is I do not have that warm of kitchen. Do you have to have kitchen aide mixer?

Tannis said...

I just made these for dinner (had to make them early because I'll be at work but the fam will enjoy them). Anyway, I thought why not have one now and make a sandwich out of it. So I did, and it was good!

I love these rolls! They are so quick and easy, they have become part of our hamburger night. And the leftovers are great for egg sandwiches.
Thanks!

These look very doable, especially given the time of 40 minutes start to finish. And I like that you've used whole wheat flour! I'm saving this one for sure.

Lisa said...

Those rolls look so delicious! I've never made bread or rolls at home before and have already bookmarked this - I'll definitely be trying it soon. Thanks so much for sharing on Mangia Mondays!!
