Soft Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

The softest 100% whole wheat dinner rolls you've ever had!

Ingredients

2 Tb. active dry yeast (instant works, too)
½ c. warm water
½ c. butter, softened
¼ c. honey
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk or milk
4-1/2-5 cups whole wheat flour
1-1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in the ½ cup warm water in a glass measure. Set aside.
Cream the butter and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs and mix, scraping the sides. Add the milk and yeast mixture.
Add 4-1/2 cups of flour and the salt, mixing until combined. Change to dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes only, just until no longer tacky, adding a tablespoon or two of flour, if needed.
Let sit in bowl, covered, to rise for one hour. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then let rest 3 minutes.
Divide into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball and placing in a buttered 13x9-inch baking dish with the pieces touching.
Let rise, covered for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
