THE BEST Wheat Rolls: A Bread Machine Recipe

Updated: 5/23/22
Jump to Recipe Rate Recipe

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

If you need a "go to" whole wheat roll that is perfectly soft and flavorful, this is the one to try. We love using these for sandwiches, as a side item, or to stick in the freezer. These wheat rolls are THE BEST. When they are fresh out of the oven with a little butter, I can hardly stop myself. Both my husband and toddler agree- they both scarf them down too. I have found that these also freeze well so we almost always have a stash ready to go with soups or to make ham and cheese sliders or meatball subs. What I especially love about these rolls is how easy it is to make them. Simply dump the ingredients into your bread machine, let it run on the dough setting, and then just bake them!

Bread Machine Wheat Rolls

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/3 cup water
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 5 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seed  (Why eat flaxseed?)
  • 2 cups regular flour
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered milk
  • 3 teaspoons dry active yeast
Directions: Add ingredients to your bread machine and run on the dough cycle. Roll dough into balls (a little bigger than the size of a golf ball) and place on a greased baking pan. Bake at 350 for 17-19 minutes. (Makes around 25 rolls) If you need a "go to" whole wheat roll that is perfectly soft and flavorful, this is the one to try. We love using these for sandwiches, as a side item, or to stick in the freezer. Check out some other yummy bread machine recipes we have in our recipe index!

      We have not tested these outside the bread machine, so I’m sorry that I can’t give more instruction to you about that.

    Can you substitute milk for the powdered milk?

      I’m not sure. We haven’t tested it without the powdered milk. Sorry that I can’t help.

    Made these tonight for sliders….they were wonderful. Freezing the rest, and almost can’t wait to make them again. Have you ever frozen the dough before baking?

      Awesome! We’ve only tried freezing after baking, but should work to freeze before. Just thaw in fridge and let rise on counter.

    Have you ever frozen these rolls? Baked or in dough form?
