Method
- 1
Liquids. Stir the warm milk, honey, cooled melted butter and egg together in a jug until the honey dissolves.
- 2
Dough. In a large bowl combine the wholemeal flour, white flour, yeast and salt. Pour in the honey mixture and mix until it comes together, then knead 7-8 min by machine on medium, or 10 min by hand, until smooth; it will still cling a little to the bottom of the bowl.
- 3
Rise. Cover and leave somewhere warm for 45-60 min, until doubled. Wholemeal dough rises a touch more slowly, so judge by size rather than by the clock.
- 4
Shape. Grease the dish. Knock the dough back, cut it into quarters and then each quarter into 4, and roll each piece into a tight ball. Arrange them 4 by 4, cover and leave 25-35 min, until risen and touching.
- 5
Bake. Heat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan). Brush the rolls with the 1 tbsp milk and bake 18-22 min, turning the dish halfway, until browned; the centre roll reads 88-90 °C.
- 6
Glaze. Mix the melted butter with the 1 tsp honey and brush it over the rolls as they come out. Cool 10 min in the dish, then lift onto a rack.
Storage
Keep cooled rolls in an airtight bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. Rewarm at 180 °C for 5 min; freeze for up to 1 month.
