Whole Wheat Potato Dinner Rolls

These are great to make with a pot roast or a stew for Sunday dinner! Simple and hearty!

1 package of dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp)
2 cups of warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup of canola oil
2 eggs
1/3 cups mashed potato flakes
1 1/2tsp salt
2 cups all purpose flour
4-4 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour(you probably won't need it all)
2 Tblsp melted butter

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, potato flakes, salt, all purpose flour and 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to for a soft dough.  On a floured surface, knead the rest of the way until smooth and elastic.

In a greased bowl, toss the ball of dough around.  Let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours), punch down, roll into equal sized rolls and place on greased baking sheet.  Let rise another half hour.  Brush tops with melted butter, bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.

 

Enjoy :)
