Easy Whole Wheat Hoagie Rolls
These easy whole wheat hoagie rolls are the easiest to make. And they’re full of nutritious ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 1/4 tsp (one packet) instant yeast
- 1/2 tbsp regular cane sugar
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil (I used extra-virgin)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 3/4 cup and an additional 1 1/2 tablespoons bread flour
Instructions
- In large bowl combine the lukewarm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil. Add in both flours and combine mixture until a soft dough forms (it’s a lot easier to use your hands here).
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand, or if you have a bread machine - that should work also.While kneading, you may have to feel out the dough. If it still seems to be sticky, add in an extra tablespoon or two of flour.*Don’t add too much more than that, or the dough will be too stiff and hard for you to handle*
- Grease or oil the bowl you took the dough out of. Put the ball of dough in, and roll the dough around so that it’s coated with the oil. Cover and let sit for 30-35 minutes until double in size.
- Deflate the dough (push your fist down the middle until you see the dough deflate). Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.Form each piece into a rectangular shape, then roll the longest side into a long roll shape.. Make sure you seal any loose ends/gaps in.
- Place the formed rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure that they are not too close to each other. They will expand and grow larger. Cover the rolls and let them sit for around 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees about 10 minutes before you put the rolls in. This way, you don’t have to wait around until it’s ready..*If you’d like to use an egg wash, combine an egg white + a dash of water. Brush gently over the tops and sides of the rolls before baking*
- Bake for 25 minutes or so until they’re browned to your liking. Let cool about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
