Soft Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

Soft Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls, from The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook

2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (I use white whole wheat)
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons SAF yeast, or 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

1. Place all the ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer's instructions. Program for the Dough cycle; press start.

2. Grease a 9x13 inch pan. When the cycle is finished, remove dough from the machine. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half, then roll each half into a 2 to 3 inch cylinder. With a metal dough scraper or a chef's knife, cut the cylinder into 8 equal portions. (8 equal portions makes a very generous sized roll. Sometimes I divide each cylinder into 12 portions instead.) Repeat with the second cylinder. Shape each portion like a miniature load by patting it into an oval, then rolling up from a short side. Place the rolls in the pan with their long sides touching. Brush with melted butter (about 2 or 3 tablespoons), cover loosely, and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

4. Place pan in the center of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. (Mine are usually done after about 18-20 minutes.) Remove from the pan and let cool on a rack. Serve warm.

I have had these every year since I was little for my birthday. that and chicken cordon bleu. 1 pastry for 9" pie 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. water 4 baking apples. Cinnamon and Sugar Peel and Core Apples. (If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
