Makes 3 dozen
CathyCathy Warren

ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt, plus a bit to sprinkle on top
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for shaping dough)
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour

directions

  • 1

    Pour warm water over sugar in a large bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

  • 2

    Add melted butter, eggs and salt; whisk to combine. Add both flours; mix until incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Brush top of dough with butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

  • 3

    Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, pinch off walnut sized bits of dough. Roll into a ball and place, just touching, on a greased baking sheet.

  • 4

    Brush with butter and sprinkle lightly with salt. You can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, if you wish.

  • 5

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
