30 Minute Rolls

I adapted this recipe from the Real Mom Kitchen cookbook. These are dense but delicious 100% whole wheat rolls with no oil or refined sugar.

Ingredients:

• 1 c. plus 2 Tb. warm water
• 1/3 c. applesauce
• 2 Tb. yeast
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 egg
• 3 1/2 c. whole wheat flour

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In mixer bowl with kneading hook combine water, applesauce, yeast, and honey. Let sit 15 minutes. 
3. Mix in salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour till combined. Add remaining flour 1/2 c. at a time.
4. Grease a 9x13 baking dish or a baking sheet with oil, then grease your hands and roll the dough into 12 balls.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes on the top rack. If they start getting too brown on top cover with foil. 

Notes about this recipe:

1. After getting the dough into balls you could let them rise for another 15 minutes if you wanted/had time.
