Equipment
- 1 Grain mill
- 1 stand mixer
- 1 Small saucepan
- 1 9 x 13 baking pan
- Plastic Wrap
- 1 Tea towel
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups fresh milled flour hard white wheat berries
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the milk and the butter together until the butter is mostly melted and the mixture is warm to the touch but not hot.
- While the milk and butter are warming up, mill your wheat berries.
- Combine the melted butter and milk with the honey, eggs, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix until everything is combined.
- Next, add the flour and mix until fully incorporated. This is a sticky dough, so resist the urge to add more flour.
- Let the dough sit and rest for about 15 minutes. This helps the fresh flour to fully absorb all of the liquids.
- When the 15 minutes is up, add the instant yeast and mix it in.
- Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead until you have a smooth dough that starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. You should be able to stretch the dough without it breaking, then you know it’s done.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave it to rise for 1-2 hours, or until roughly doubled in size. Rise times will vary based on the temperature of your kitchen.
- Use a little bit of olive oil to oil your work surface, and use some butter to grease the 9 x 13 pan.
- Shape the dough into 12 equal pieces, by folding all sides inward, then rolling it gently to create a ball. Place the shaped rolls into the prepared baking dish with the smooth side up.
- Cover the rolls with a damp tea towel and let them rise for about 45 minutes or until they appear puffy.
- Bake the rolls at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until they are turning golden brown and are cooked all the way through. Brush with additional melted butter, if desired.
- Enjoy these rolls warm!
