100% Whole Wheat Rolls

I just made the best whole wheat rolls I have ever made!

I couldn't find my recipe, so I did my best to remember it.  This is what I came up with:

In the bottom of the bread mixer put:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 TBSP salt

Then add:
4 cups very warm water
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 eggs
2 TBSP yeast

Mix together and then start adding more whole wheat flour, 1 cup at a time.

Add 6 to 9 more cups.  The dough will still be a little sticky.

Let rise until double or even more.
The dough will still be sticky, but you can handle it by spraying Pam on your hands
and on the cupboard and on the rolling pin.

Form Rolls.  (I divided the batch in thirds and rolled out long rectangles and
basted them with butter.   Then I cut out triangles with my pizza cutter, then
rolled them out starting at the wide end.)  Use you own method if you like.

Put them on a cookie sheet sprayed with pam and let rise again.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until done.

Arabele Noble's Potato Rolls (Those wonderful Friday rolls)

This is the recipe my mom used. (I use a Bosch mixer)

2 cups milk
2 cups potato water (with a little mashed potato in it)
2 teaspoon salt
1 cube of butter
1 cup sugar

Add all ingredients together, heat until butter is melted.
When the mixture is cool, add enough flour to make a thin batter.
Then add 6 beaten eggs.
2 Tablespoons yeast (3 if you are in a hurry).
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Then add enough flour to make dough just right (about 9 1/4 c. total?)
Let rise till double.  Roll out about 3/8 inch thick.  Cut into circles. Brush with melted butter and mark center fold line with a knife but be careful not to cut through. Fold and seal edge with a fork.  Place in 11x17 cookie sheet 9 rows of 4 works.  Makes 7 dozen rolls.

Heat oven to 400 then turn down to 375 and bake for 15 minutes.
(Try 350 for 20 minutes)  Brush with butter after baking.
