    Delicious homemade 30 minute honey wheat rolls that are made from scratch in about half an hour. Easy recipe for busy weeknights or holidays!

    One of my favorite (and one of the most popular) recipes on i heart eating is my 60 Minute Dinner Rolls. Sometimes, though, one hour is still too long wait for fresh, hot rolls.

    These 30 Minute Honey Wheat Rolls are ready - start to finish - in about 30 minutes. So, they're perfect for those nights when you want some fresh bread but don't have a lot of time.

    Unlike a lot of whole wheat rolls, these rolls are soft - thanks to the mixture of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.

    The rolls also have a mild honey flavor which works really nicely with the nutty whole wheat flour.

    Can I use low-fat milk?

    You can! Anything from skim milk to whole milk will work in these whole wheat rolls.

    Ingredients

    • â…“ cup butter plus extra for brushing on
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons instant yeast
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ¼ - 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400 Lightly grease a half sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.
    • In a small saucepan, melt butter.
    • When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
    • Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
    • When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.

    • With lightly floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
    • Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

      Oops, also meant to ask...Would using bread flour instead of all purpose make the rolls softer? I have both... Thank you!

        Using bread flour would give you a little more chew to the rolls. Otherwise, either will work!

      Hello! Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. These rolls don’t last a day in my house. I’ve tried the rolls twice so far. The first time I substituted milk with oat milk and they turned out great. The second time I used oat milk again, substituted the egg for a flax egg, and cut the honey by half. I sprinkled sunflower seeds and rolled oats on top of each roll before baking. They turned out even better this batch! I’m hoping to find a good vegan sub for the butter next time and give it a try. Thank you again! 🧡

      I accidentally used half the yeast, will I be able to make this for my family on time? Within an hour?

        With less yeast, the rolls will take longer to rise. Unfortunately, I'm not certain how long it will take.

      Hello, for health reasons we grind our own flour and do not use all purpose flour. I tried using 1 cup hard red wheat and 1 cup soft white white to replace the all purpose flour, but they came out with a more biscuit characteristic than fluffy roll texture. Do you know if there is any way to get the "fluffy" without using all purpose flour? I also have spelt, rye, oats, and hard white wheat. Thank you.

        Hi! I use soft wheat for fluffier, softer wheat bread and rolls. Also, I make an oatmeal cake with whole wheat and oatmeal, and that cake is fluffy. It might help to try a blend of oatmeal and soft wheat. Best of luck!

      These are great! They've become a regular addition to our menu. We also formed them a little differently when we made sloppy Joe's. They held their shape well and made great hamburger buns for the sloppy Joe meat. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Jk

      Two tablespoons of yeast is a huge amount, like a mountain. Is this correct?

        It is. Adjusting the amount of yeast in a recipe lets you increase or decrease the rising time. You can use less yeast if you'd like, but you'll need to increase the rising time.
