Easy Dinner Rolls

2 cups milk
½ cup  sugar
2T butter
1T yeast
1t salt
4 to 5 cups whole wheat flour (or a mix of white and wheat, whatever your preference is)

Combine milk, sweetener and butter in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts and sweetener is dissolved. Pour this into your mixing bowl (Bosch or Kitchen Aid). Let this cool until it is a little hotter than baby bath water. When it has cooled down, add yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes and get a little foamy. Add salt and half the flour. Mix and then add the rest of the flour. It may require a little more flour but you are looking for a soft dough that is not sticky. So add any extra flour a little at a time.

Knead for 4 to 5 minutes in a Bosch and 7 to 8 minutes in a Kitchen Aid mixer. Cover and let this rise in the bowl for about one hour or until it has doubled in size.

Turn the mixer on to punch it down and mix it up a bit. Take the dough out of the mixer and divide it into 12 pieces. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray. Roll the pieces of dough into balls and put them in the pan. Let this rise until double in size; 45 min. to an hour.

When they are done rising bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven rub butter over the top of them.
