I got this recipe from a co-worker who talked about having the dough made ahead of time in the fridge. Although I avoid yeast-type recipes (because I don't like to measure things and baking is so precise and specific!!), I figured I'd give these a try. I will admit it was a pretty easy recipe and I just pulled off little balls of dough to rolled into biscuits instead of having to roll them out and use cookie cutters. Matthew (3) didn't enjoy these, but the other 3 did...although they did complain that they are a little dense. These certainly aren't light and fluffy, and the honey gives them a bit more of sweetness than I expected. But the family said they would eat them again, so they must not be that bad. :)
PS...my hubby took this picture and I give him a hard time about taking bad photos. So he sent this picture to me about 6 times...except they all look the same! :)
2 tbsp yeast
1/2 c warm water
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c butter
1/4 c honey or sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 c whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 c warm water
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c butter
1/4 c honey or sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 c whole wheat flour
2 eggs
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Heat milk, butter, honey and salt in a saucepan until very warm. Add with yeast to flour in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs. Beat well and let rise for 30-50 minutes. Stir down. The dough may be shaped immediately or refrigerated for several hours or days.
Spoon dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Let sit for 15 minutes in a warm place. Bake at 375 minutes for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted before or after baking, if desired.
