Time 3h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ΒΌ cups whole wheat flour, or more as needed, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 cup warm water, divided
1 teaspoon honey
1 (.25 ounce) package quick-rise active dry yeast
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • Mix flour, salt, and sage together in a large bowl. Form a well in the center.
  • Mix 2 teaspoons warm water, honey, and yeast together in a small bowl. Pour mixture into the well without mixing. Cover bowl with a cloth; set in a warm area for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the remaining water and 1 teaspoon olive oil into the flour-yeast mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until dough sticks together. Cover with a cloth and keep warm. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, using the remaining flour as needed. Return to the bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Grease a baking sheet with the remaining olive oil; lightly dust with flour.
  • Punch down the dough; divide into 12 equal parts. Shape into ovals and cut a cross on top of each roll with a butter knife. Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Brush the rolls with egg white.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes.

These rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rolls didn't turn out well. They were too dry and crumbly.

These rolls were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have over-kneaded the dough.

I love these rolls! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I like to add a little bit of garlic powder and Parmesan cheese to the dough for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rolls didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit dry and dense. Maybe I didn't knead the dough long enough.
