Maple Wheat Rolls

Maple Wheat Rolls
Yield: 10 servings


2 1/2 Cups Warm Water
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Package Dry Instant Yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp yeast)
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
4 Cup Bread Flour or White unbleached flour (plus extra to dust your work surface for kneading)


1.  Whisk the warm water, maple syrup, butter, salt & yeast until they dissolve.  Gradually add the flours into the bowl, stirring with a whisk to combine.
2.  Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth (it’s done when you poke your finger in it and it bounces back).
3.  Place in a large greased or oiled bowl, cover with plastic and place in a warm area for 1 ½ hours (until the dough has doubled in size).
4.  After the dough has risen, place it on a floured work surface. Cut into 24 equal pieces.
5.  Shape the dough into 24 even roll shapes and place on two large parchment lined cookie sheets.
6.  Cover the loaves with greased plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until the dough or rolls have doubled in size.
7.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
8.  Bake 30 minutes.  Serve.
