Servings: persons

1 cup lukewarm water
¼ cup orange juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces (2 oz.)
3 tablespoons honey
2 cups whole wheat flour (8 oz.)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (4 1/4 oz.)
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
½ cup dried potato flakes (heaping 1/2 cup, 1 1/4 oz.)
¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder (1 oz.)
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
2 -3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1
Combine all dough ingredients, mix, and knead until a medium-soft, smooth dough is achieved.
2
Can use a mixer or bread machine.
3
Cover and allow to rise until quite puffy though probably not doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
4
Divide dough into 16 pieces.
5
There are wonderful illustrations in the book, but basically you shape each piece into a rough ball, then pull downward around the top surface and gather in a small knot at the bottom.
6
Place on an unfloured work surface and, cupping your hand over the dough, roll gently and quickly to smooth top.
7
Place rolls in a lightly greased 13x9 pan.
8
Cover with greased plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 1/2-2 hours.
9
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover and bake until brown on top but light on the sides, about 23-25 minutes.
10
Remove from oven and, after a few minutes, carefully transfer to rack.
11
Brush with melted butter for a smooth, satiny crust.
12
Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
