KITTENCAL'S 60% WHOLE WHEAT ROLLS
These are really good buns, I make them often, I use Robin Hood Multigrain bread flour to make them but any whole wheat bread flour will do, if you live in the U.S.A then use white bread flour, in Canada just use all purpose. I usually get around 12 large buns, the yield is only estimated depending on how large you make the buns.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the 1/2 cup whole milk with 3 tbsp sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons butter until the milk is warmed (not hot!) and the butter is almost melted (the butter does not have to melt completely) set aside and cool until lukewarm.
- Proof the yeast with 1 tsp sugar in the 1-1/4 cups warm water for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Using a heavy-duty mixer, fitted with the kneader attachment, to the bowl add in 3 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup white flour with warm milk/butter mixture and the proofed yeast.
- Mix for 2 minutes, then start adding in more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough that holds around the kneader blade, knead for 5-8 minutes (adjusting flour).
- Remove the dough and let rest 10 minutes on the counter, covered with a clean tea towel.
- After 10 minutes, lightly knead the dough into a ball, and then place in a well-oiled bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size (if you are oven-rising this should take about 1 hour).
- Remove and punch down dough.
- Shape into 12 balls (depending on what size you make them).
- Cover and rise again for 30-35 minutes.
- Brush the tops and sides gently using a pastry brush with the egg/water mix, sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are a deep golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped.
KITTENCAL'S BUTTERY PAN ROLLS
I make these buns on a regular basis they have remained a family-favorite over the years --- if you choose not to brush the tops with any butter another idea is after the second rise before baking mix 1 egg white with 1 tsp cold water and carefully brush the buns with egg wash mixture then sprinkle with sesame seeds :)

KITTENCAL'S LIGHT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
For me this is the best recipe whole wheat bread it has never failed me yet, I most always add in a couple tablespoons of yellow cornmeal, it gives the bread flavor and crunch, also for a savory flavor add in a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning and some garlic powder, this will make two smaller loaves or you can make one large loaf of bread and bake in a 9x5-inch bread pan

Steps:
- Grease two dark metal 8 x 4-inch loaf/bread pans.

- Place both flours into the stainless steel mixing bowl set aside.
- Place 1/2 cup milk, 3 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons salt and 2-1/2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan; heat on top of the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spoon until the sugar and salt is dissolved and the butter has melted (do not boil the milk and the butter does not have to be completely melted) remove and let cool until lukewarm (I place the saucepan in the fridge to speed up the cooling process).
- When the milk has cooled to luke-warm pour into the mixing bowl with the flour; cover with a towel to keep the milk warm.
- In a small cup or bowl mix the 2 teaspoons sugar with the warm water until dissolved.
- Add in 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast and stir briefly.
- Cover with a tea towel and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.

- Remove the dough to a lightly-floured surface and let rest covered with a clean tea towel for 5 minutes.
- Gather up the dough and knead gently for about 15 seconds (the dough will come together nicely).
- Generously oil a large glass or stainless steel bowl.
- Place the dough in the bowl; turn to coat the dough with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled (it might take more or less time depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
- Punch down the dough then slice into two equal pieces.
- Place the dough onto a very lightly floured surface cover one pie with a clean tea towel.
- Using your hands flatten/pat out one piece the dough to about 12x8-inches (does not have to be the exact size).
- Roll up tightly then tuck the sides under to fit a 8x4-inch greased loaf pan.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.

KITTENCAL'S CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
This is my own recipe that I have made for over 25 years, I have made these for weddings, socials and large get togethers and everyone loves them --- I have two large cabbage listed as you will need extra cabbage leaves to line the bottom and top of the pan to prevent the rolls from over browning which may happen during the long cooking time --- cooked rice will also be fine for this and if you like lots of rice you may increase amount --- make certain that the heads of cabbage are frozen then completely thawed before starting this recipe, this will allow for easy removal of the leaves, allow the frozen cabbage heads thaw at room temperature overnight in bowls --- to save some time I most always remove the cabbage leaves a day ahead and refrigerate in a bowl and you may even prepare the ground beef mixture a day ahead so the following day just mix the sauce roll and cook --- for these cabbage rolls I do not precook the ground beef it will cook thoroughly in the oven --- I have listed the sauerkraut as optional if you are a sauerkraut-lover then add it in I most always do it really adds extra flavor to the cabbage and you may use more than 1/2 cup if desired --- the amounts listed will fill a 13 x 9-inch pan very full or even better so you do not over crowd the rolls a larger pan may be used or use two pans and freeze one for another meal, just thaw overnight in the fridge then allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours then cook as stated --- if you like lots of sauce then you may double amounts but I would suggest to make it in a larger baking pan if you are doubling the sauce.

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees F (second-lowest oven rack).
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan or use a larger pan (for easier clean up I strongly advise to use a disposable heavy foil pan).
- Make certain that the cabbage heads are completely thawed before using for this (to do this remove the heads of cabbage from freezer and place in a bowl then thaw at room temperature overnight).
- Using a small sharp knife carefully remove the hard core/stem from the center of the head, then remove the leaves from the cabbage (you may need to keep slicing off some middle part to remove the leaves easier).
- To speed up cooking time you may want to cook the leaves in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes this will give the cabbage rolls a head start and reduce cooking time slightly.
- Using your hands gently squeeze out 2 to 3 leaves at a time to remove excess water, then place the leaves in a large bowl; set aside.
- FOR MEAT FILLING; using clean hands mix all ingredients together for the meat filling in large bowl until thoroughly combined.
- FOR SAUCE; in another bowl combine all sauce ingredients together until blended (adjust the salt and pepper to taste).
- Line the bottom of the pan with cabbage leaves (due to the long cooking time this will protect the rolls from over browning/burning in the pan while cooking, you may also place leaves on top of the sauce then cover with foil but that is optional).
- Using a large spoon or a ladle drizzle half of the sauce over the leaves then spread out to cover the leaves (does not have to cover the leaves completely).
- Stuff the cabbage leaves tightly but carefully with the meat mixture (I use about 1/3-cup for larger leaves).
- Roll up tightly and place the rolls in a single layer on top of the cabbage leaves and sauce in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce over the rolls (using a butter knife separate the rolls slightly to insure the sauce settles between and around each roll).
- Sprinkle about 1/2 cup or a little more sauerkraut over the sauce (if using).
- At this point you may cover the rolls with more leaves if desired (this is optional but good to do).
- Cover tightly with foil.
- IMPORTANT; if you are using a 13 x 9-inch dish it will be very full so place on a large jelly-roll pan to catch any spills.
- Cook at 350 degrees F (oven rack set to second-lowest position) for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the cabbage is very tender, the cooking time will vary depending on how thick the cabbage leaves are and if you have pre-boiled the leaves firstly, I usually check after about 2 hours).

Tips:
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook is recommended for mixing the dough, but it can also be mixed by hand.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time until it is smooth and elastic.
- The dough should be kneaded for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- The dough should rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- To test if the dough is ready, poke it with your finger. If the indentation springs back, the dough is ready.
- The rolls should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- To make sure the rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a roll. If the toothpick comes out clean, the rolls are done.
