Yield 12 rolls
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup milk (warmed to 95°F)
- 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 2 2/3 cups stone ground whole wheat pastry flour
Topping
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Start by warming the milk in a microwave-safe cup. Add yeast to the milk, stir once or twice and then let sit for 5-10 minutes until it is foamy.
- Pour yeast mixture into a large mixing bowl and add in the honey, sugar, melted butter and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Add whole wheat pastry flour. Stir until the dough comes together. It will be a slightly wet and sticky dough.
- Divide dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. Form them into balls.
- Line a slow cooker (that is large enough to hold 12 rolls in one layer, 6-7qt size is recommended) with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Place the dough balls in the slow cooker, on top of parchment paper. Put a big piece of paper towel under the lid (important step, you don’t want the condensation dripping onto your dough) and cover the slow cooker.
- Turn on high and cook for 90 minutes. Check for doneness - the middle ones should be cooked through on the bottom and the outside ones should be slightly browned.
- Lift the parchment paper out of the slow cooker and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake rolls under the broiler in your oven (or oven at 500°F) for 2 minutes.
- Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and sea salt. Serve warm.
