Sandwich Rolls

I looked and looked for a good recipe for a sand which roll or bun. I wanted something light and fluffy, not hard and dense like one often finds at the store or bakery. I also wanted something in which I could incorporate a little bit of whole wheat flour, just to make it tad bit healthier. I finally found that recipe.

Ingredients:
*2 1/2 cups warm milk
*2 Tbsp. yeast
*1/4 cup sugar
*4 tsp. salt
*2 eggs
*1/4 cup margarine, softened
*2 cups whole wheat flour
*6 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in milk until foamy (10-15 minutes).

2. Mix in sugar, salt, eggs, margarine, whole wheat flour and 4 cups all-purpose flour.

 3. Gradually mix in last two cups of flour, adding more if needed until dough is really soft but not sticky.

4. Place in warm, greased bowl. Cover and raise for one hour.

5. Roll dough out to 3/4-inch thick.

6. Cut rolls. (I use a ring from a wide-mouth mason jar.)

7. Place on greased baking sheet. Raise about an hour.

8. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350-degrees.

 Makes 30-36 rolls, depending on size.

Serving Suggestions:
*Use with BBQ chicken to make sandwiches.
*Use for individual servings of garlic bread.

 Notes: These rolls freeze and thaw really well.
