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!
