Bread Machine Dinner Rolls

 Simple dinner rolls; wonderful with butter and jam, or to go alongside a hearty bowl of soup.

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1/4 cup dry milk powder
• 2 Tbs butter, melted
• 3 Tbs sugar, honey, or agave
• 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (~110°F)
• 1 Tbs water
• 1 egg white

1. Add the flour, dry milk, butter, sugar, yeast, and water in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.  {which usually means: 1) liquids 2) dry ingredients 3) yeast} Select the dough cycle, and start.
2. Remove the dough from the bread machine pan, and on a floured surface knead the dough a bit and divide into 12 pieces.  Form into rounds, place on a greased cookie sheet and allow to rise covered by a moist cloth for approximately 40 minutes, or until volume has nearly doubled.
3. Heat the oven to 350°F.  In a small bowl mix the 2 Tbs water and egg white, beating thoroughly.  Brush onto rolls, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown in the preheated oven.

Notes:

• 3 cups all purpose flour can be subbed for whole wheat + cake flour combo.
• These puppies can be mass produced and frozen- once you have them formed into rolls place them in the freezer on a cookie sheet.  Once fully frozen, put them in a freezer storage bag or tupperware.  When needed, pop them in the about 1 minute (depending on the quantity of rolls) and then allow to rise 40 minutes, brush on egg wash, and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Yields 12 rolls
