Sweet Molasses Brown Rolls
November 22, 2018One of my favorite smells is fresh baked bread. These rolls have a hint of sweetness from the honey and molasses.
You will need:
- 1 c warm water
- 2 1/4 t (1 package) yeast
- 1 T sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 T unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 c honey
- 3 T molasses
- 1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 t salt
- 2 c whole wheat flour
- 2 c all-purpose flour
Then you will…
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the water with the yeast and sugar. Allow to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Mix in the egg, butter, honey, molasses, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Mix in the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, covered with plastic wrap.
- Allow to rise until doubled, about an hour.
- Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and lightly cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow to rise until doubled again, about another hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden on the edges and sound hollow when tapped.
