These are yummiest rolls. And uses whole wheat flour so somewhat healthy, right?

• Ready In: 2 hrs 35 mins
• Serves: 18
• Yields: 18 rolls

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  lukewarm water (105-115 degrees)
• 1  tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2  tablespoons honey
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3  cups whole wheat flour
• 1  cup semolina flour
• 1  teaspoon fine salt
• 2  cups hot water
• 1  egg
• 1  tablespoon water
• 1  teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1  teaspoon poppy seed
• 1  teaspoon caraway seed
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the lukewarm water, yeast and honey. Using the dough hook on low speed, stir the ingredients together.
2. In a separate bowl sift together 1 cup of all purpose flour, the wheat and semolina flours and the salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture and then add the hot water. Stir the dough on low speed until the dough comes together to form a ball.
3. Knead the dough 5-10 minutes by hand or 3-4 minutes on low speed with the mixer. The dough should be well formed and just hold its shape or spread very slowly.
4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a slightly dampened cloth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5. Knead the dough briefly and separate into 18 small balls. Roll into round rolls and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover the dough with a cloth and allow to rise for another hour or until doubled in bulk. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
6. Combine all seeds and salt in a small bowl. Beat together egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with the seed mixture.
7. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Cool on racks.
