The method
Step by step
- 1
In a small bowl, stir together the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: If the yeast doesn't foam, it may no longer be active. It's best to start over with fresh yeast.
- 2
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt.
About 1 min
- 3
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or the dough hook attachment until a shaggy dough forms.
About 2 min
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or in a stand mixer with the dough hook for 6-8 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: The dough is ready when it springs back slowly when you press it with a finger.
- 5
Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: An off oven with the light on is a great warm spot for proofing dough.
- 6
Gently deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: A bench scraper or a sharp knife works well for dividing the dough cleanly.
- 7
Shape each piece into a smooth ball by tucking the edges underneath. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space between them.
About 10 min
- 8
Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until they have visibly puffed up.
About 1 min
- 9
During the last 15 minutes of the second rise, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
About 1 min
- 10
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
About 20 min
- 11
Transfer the hot rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
