Roll this way!

I made a big crock pot of turkey chili for supper tonight, so I thought I'd make some super easy yeast dinner rolls to go along with them.  Dinner rolls?  You may ask.  Aren't those hard to make?  Not these ones!  No kneading involved either! The recipe is actually called "Quick Yeast Rolls" and I've made them quite a few times with great success (and once with absolute failure), but tonight's took the cake!  Using 100% whole wheat flour they turned out amazing!  I didn't use a muffin tin, as per usual, I just shaped into rolls and placed on a baking stone.  They went perfectly with the chili!

100% Whole Wheat Yeast Rolls

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp white sugar
1 cup hot tap water
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/2 tsp)
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:

1.  Combine the butter, sugar and hot water in a large bowl and stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
2.  Mix in the yeast until dissolved.  
3. Add egg, salt and flour and stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined.  THE DOUGH WILL BE STICKY!  THIS IS NORMAL.  DO NOT ADD MORE FLOUR.


4.  Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.
5.  With floured hands (you will need quite a bit since the dough is really sticky) divide the dough and shape into 8 balls and either place in greased muffin tins or on a baking sheet.  Allow to rise again until doubled in size.


 6.  Bake for 10-15 mins. in preheated 425F oven, and serve warm with butter.


Enjoy!
