GRANDMA'S WHOLE WHEAT ROLLS

Whole Wheat Rolls

Ingredients

4 cups milk, warmed (I mix up powdered milk)
½ cup warm water
2 Tbsp  dry yeast
½ cup  cooking oil (olive oil)
¾ cup  honey
2 Tbsp  salt (scant)
2          eggs
9 cups  whole wheat flour (I use about ½ hard red wheat and ½ white  wheat ground fresh)
3 Tbsp  lecithin granules

Directions

1. Grind about 7 C wheat on fine. (Or use whole wheat flour from the store.) Sprinkle yeast in warm water and let stand 10 min.

2. Combine milk, oil, honey, salt, eggs and 5 cups of wheat flour in mixer bowl and knead on low speed until well blended.  (Or mix by  hand) Add yeast and water mixture and blend again.  Add the rest  of the flour and lecithin and knead 10 minutes in machine.  (Or  knead by hand and get your exercise for the week.)

3. Put dough in large, greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen  towel and let rise until doubled in bulk.

4. Roll out dough ½ to 1 inch thick on floured board or counter.  Cut with round cutter for rolls. Put side by side on greased cookie sheet. Let rise until double in bulk.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Brush tops with a little olive oil if desired.
