Our hard white wheat berry is perfect for these homemade yeast rolls. The honey gives these yeast rolls a little extra sweetness and makes it very difficult to eat just one.

Our homemade yeast rolls are very light and airy, just like they should be. Couple that with the extraordinary flavor our freshly milled hard white wheat berry flour brings and you have a sure guarantee for success every time.

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. It is ok if there are small chunks of butter in the bowl. Add the eggs and mix well, scraping the sides. Add the milk and yeast mixture.
Add 4-1/2 cups of flour and the salt, mixing until combined. Change the attachment to dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes only, just until the dough is no longer tacky, adding a tablespoon or two of flour if needed. You will know when to stop adding flour when you can touch the dough and it does not stick to your finger.
Let dough sit in the bowl, covered, and let 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.

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I am trying different recipes and I’m a beginner bread maker. I thought you had to knead the dough until it passes the window test. On this recipe, you only knew for 2-3 minutes? Can you help me understand the difference in kneading times? Thanks

Did you use fresh ground flour for these rolls? If not do I need to add more liquid per cup of flour?

Is the butter in this recipe salted or unsalted ?

@Denise Yes, your bread machine will knead the dough as well as a stand mixer.

Just recently bought a Nutrimill to grind my own flour and such. And just purchased some wheat berries. And so new to grinding my own flours etc. I would love to try this recipe but I do not have a stand mixer but I do have a bread maker. Would this recipe work on the dough setting of my bread maker. Thinking I may eventually need to invest in a stand mixer but until the
just wondering if it would work in my bread maker. Thanks

These rolls are absolutely delicious. I’ve made them several times exactly as the recipe is written. My family loves them more than any rolls I’ve ever made with store bought flour. They’re equally delicious with butter or jam. I can’t recommend the Palouse wheat berries or recipes strongly enough.

I have been a dedicated bread maker for years. This is a superb recipe! I have been making it every week since I found this website. The amounts for ingredients is well done. You will not be disappointed when you take it out of the oven!
