1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons (9 ounces) filtered water
¼ cup (4 Tablespoons) honey
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 Tablespoon dry powdered milk
1 2/3 cups (230 g, 8.1 ounces) unbleached bread flour
1¼ cups (140 g, 5 ounces) whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Add the ingredients to the pan of the bread machine in the order listed. Program the machine for the dough cycle, and press start. When the dough cycle has finished, transfer the dough to a floured surface.

Using either a pizza cutter or a dough scrapper, cut the dough into 2.5-ounce pieces. Form each piece into a ball and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Using floured fingertips, flatten each piece until it is about ½-inch thick. Allow to rise, covered with a baking sheet, in a warm place* until tripled in size, about 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake covered for 10 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven; transfer to wire rack to cool. Yield 10 honey wheat rolls.

*To create the perfect environment for rising, turn on electric oven for 1½ minutes.
