homemade dinner rolls with wheat flour and honey

Homemade Dinner Rolls Made With Wheat & Honey

Homemade dinner rolls made by hand always taste better. Fact. This yummy upgrade made with wheat flour and honey comes together in about 3 hours and is perfect for the holiday table. I decorated mine with a few simple garden ingredients and a dash of pink peppercorns, which we can forage outside our doorstep!

I first tried these dinner rolls with all-purpose flour for Thanksgiving and they were PERFECTION! This wheat version has no sugar, making it a great trade-off and giving more earthy vibes for dinner. Considering we will have prime rib and pasta to accompany, the honey wheat dinner roll was a good choice for us. It’s all about balance!

Honey wheat homemade dinner rolls decorated with parsley and pink peppercorns.

To make these yummy and wholesome homemade dinner rolls, I have the scoop for you below. A couple of tips – let these wheat rolls rise a little longer than those made with white flour – they are more dense for sure. Also, if you want a really evenly shaped roll, you should roll out each piece and fold it into a ball, then round it out with your hands, placing it seam-side down.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup whole milk warmed
2 1/4 active dry yeast
2 Tablespoons honey split
1 large egg
1/4 cup butter room temp
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole wheat flour (AP flour makes these so fluffy and amazing too!)
More butter for drizzling and Malden salt for sprinkling

METHOD:
Combine milk, honey, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 mins covered.

Next add in egg, salt, butter, 1 cup flour. You can mix this in a stand mixer or by hand with a dough hook. Once combined, add the rest of the flour. The dough should be coming away from the sides of the bowl when ready.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 3-4 mins.

Place in a greased bowl, greasing the dough in it first, then let rise on the counter 1-2 hours. Punch down the dough and pull apart 12-14 rolls. Shape and place in greased 9×11 and let rise again under a cloth on the counter for about an hour.

Set oven to 350° and while it heats, butter buns and decorate them. I used my garden parsley, rosemary, and pink peppercorns.

Pop into oven on a low rack for about 20-25 mins, rotating halfway.

Once done, drizzle butter and salt, and enjoy!

I hope you love these homemade dinner rolls as much as we do – they’re so good hot out of the oven or reheated the next day!

Bold move, right? One of my girlfriends told me to do this and raved about the benefits (she always knows the good stuff - she’s that girl). But, I did some research too. 

One clove of raw garlic a day has myriad health benefits. Yes it has to be raw. You cut it and let it sit out a minute so the allacin can form which is the healing component in garlic. Then just take with water. 

It’s not just amazing for cooking, but also repairing us from the inside out and boosting immunity.

So, are you game for a clove a day?? I know, it seems cringey but you don’t even taste it - the upside is just too good!

I took this advice seriously 🌸 

But “for real life” as my four-year-old says, the more I focused on turning my life into a heaven on earth, creating happiness with my own hands, the more I just felt so at home with myself. 

Growing food is so poetic to me (as you can probably tell) because it truly takes our hands and fills our hearts - our lives - with joy, resilience, and confidence. 

It’s also fun to see progress! This started out as an in-ground garden and has evolved immensely. 

Any garden design questions - leave them here 👇🏼

This is MY list of top 4 must-know things. It doesn’t have to be yours. But after years of guiding people through hardiness zones 3 through 10, I can tell you there’s a difference in each one when it comes to timing and temperament. 

And then your very own microclimate will determine a ton. This is a personal thing that no one can really deeply help you with. Not even your neighbor. Every outdoor space has nooks and crannies that behave uniquely. And altitude and valleys and hillsides and salty ocean air versus humid tropical air, etc etc will determine a lot. So just pay attention. Be curious. 

Then we need to know the purpose of it all. Mine mixes function, health, beauty, and adding magic to my children’s lives all wrapped up in one. 

Of course then the sun you get is crucial. We all dance around the fireball in this crazy solar system, and we can’t change our positioning to it. 

The list goes on, but this is where I start. 

Are your top 4 different?

Turns out I just needed to let what I had be enough. 

Many of you have watched this journey unfold from day one. I am so grateful to have gotten to prove to myself and others that you can make whatever you have, bring joy and connection and contentment. 

Along the way you may just uncover a passion, career, purpose, and dreams that you never realize would come to manifest. 

If you have ANY garden limitations, share them here. We’ll troubleshoot ‘em together!
