Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the white flour, whole wheat flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Add warm water, oil, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Gradually add 2 or 3 more cups of flour to form a stiff, stirrable dough.
- Set a timer for 10 minutes and stir the dough during this time.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using bread flour instead of white flour. You can substitute honey for the sugar if you prefer a more natural sweetener. If you want to add flavor, try incorporating herbs or garlic powder into the dough. Allowing the dough to rise in a warm place will help it rise better, so find a cozy spot in your kitchen.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these rolls warm with butter or olive oil for dipping. They pair beautifully with hearty soups or salads like Yogi Berry Salad. For a fun twist, use them as a base for sliders or mini sandwiches. These versatile rolls are great for any meal, from breakfast to dinner.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the bread or rolls in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for dry yeast in this recipe. Just use the same amount, but there's no need to activate it in warm water first. Mix it directly with the dry ingredients for a quicker preparation.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can make the bread dense.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the dough?
Absolutely! You can fold in shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or even spices to enhance the flavor of the bread or rolls. Just be cautious not to overload the dough, as this can affect its rise.
