Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, and salt.
Add the softened butter, egg, and skim milk to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll.
Arrange the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover them lightly with a towel, and let rise again for 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
