Easy Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

from Whole Foods

*Warning- will need about 2 1/2 hours to prepare

Homemade bread, especially dinner rolls, bring that special, home cooked feeling to just about any meal. These "no need to knead" rolls are actually quite simple to prepare and have a delightful, rustic flavor. If desired, brush a bit of beaten egg over the dough before baking for a rich, golden brown color.
Serves 6 (12 rolls)

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 TB sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 package active dry yeast (.28 ounces)
1 cup warm milk (105 to 115°F)
3 TB butter, melted
1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
1 cup unbleached white flour

Have all ingredients at room temperature to start. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with the sugar, salt and yeast. Add the warmed milk, melted butter and lightly beaten egg. Beat until smooth. Add the unbleached white flour, mixing until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth. Cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes to one hour.

Meanwhile, lightly spray 12 muffin tins with extra virgin olive oil spray. Set aside.
