Preheat oven to 400 Lightly grease a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet or 9x13-inch pan. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter.
⅓ cup salted butter
When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
1 cup whole milk
Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
2 tablespoons instant yeast, 2 tablespoons honey
When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
½ teaspoon salt, 1 large egg
Stir in all-purpose flour.
2 cups all-purpose flour
Add 1 cup whole wheat flour, and stir in.
Add remaining whole wheat flour until dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will still be pretty sticky.
With lightly floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Uncover, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Brush with additional melted butter.

Yeast: You can use an equal amount of active dry yeast. Just wait for 5-10 minutes for the yeast to foam up after step 5. Then continue with the recipe as written.
Milk: Anything from skim milk to whole milk will work in these whole wheat rolls.
Whole wheat flour: If you would like to use all whole wheat flour, I recommend using my soft honey wheat roll recipe that uses all whole wheat flour.
