These soft honey wheat rolls are perfect for any meal, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and wholesome flavor.
Place the warm water, honey, softened butter, salt, egg, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start it. Let the machine knead and rise the dough.
Check the dough consistency after a few minutes; it should form a soft ball.
Once the cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Use a kitchen scale for even portions if desired.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Grease your hands lightly to prevent sticking while shaping the dough.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
A warm oven (turned off) can be a great place for proofing.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny finish.
Brushing with butter adds flavor and keeps the crust soft.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated if needed.
