Herb Rolls

2 packages active dry yeast
2 3/4 cups warm water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey or molasses
1 T salt
2 tsp dill weed
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp basil
1 tsp onion powder
1 egg, beaten
4 cups whole wheat flour
4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add the oil, honey, salt, seasonings, egg, whole wheat flour and remaining water. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. (I use instant yeast-so I add that to a cup of flour, then mix the other ingredients then add the yeast mixture to it, mix, then add the flours.

Knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 min. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise about 1 hr. Punch it down, divide into 6 portions and shape into rolls, makes around 24 depending on how big you make them. Cover and let rise until doubled-20 to 25 min. Bake at 375 for 12-15 min, mine took about 15-20 min until the tops are golden brown.
