Dinner Rolls

Description: I have been making these rolls for almost 10 years now. I made the alterations for my children's food allergies only last year and we still love these rolls. I hope you will try them with your next dinner.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sugar

1 cup flour, sifted

1 package yeast dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water

1/3 cup canola oil

1 cup warm water

1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed dissolved in 2 Tbsp. hot water

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup flour, sifted

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, sifted

1 Tbsp. wheat germ

Preparation: Mix together one ingredient at a time, in order listed, until complete. Cover and let rise in warm spot until doubled. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray (read labels). Roll out on floured surface in two batches. Use biscuit cutter to make round discs. You can fold the discs in half and pinch sides together or just leave in disc shape. Put on prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Cover and let double again. Preheat oven to 350 once rolls have doubled. Remove cover and bake until bottoms of rolls are slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Check after 8 minutes because once the tops are golden, the bottoms will be too dark. These rolls freeze very well. It makes about 3 dozen.

Alterations: You can make this all white if you like. It might make the transition to whole wheat a little easier if you start there and slowly add a little in at a time.

Rating: This gets 5 stars from my crew and to everyone else I have given this to.
