Whole Wheat Rolls Recipe

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 egg
2 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Canola oil, optional

Directions
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sugar, yeast and salt; set aside. In a large saucepan, heat milk, water and butter to 120°-130° add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; shape into 12 balls. Place in a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Brush tops with oil if desired.
Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 dozen.
