plastic wrap
12 inch Dutch oven
Directions
In a bowl, sift together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and yeast.
In a measuring cup combine the milk, egg, butter, and honey, then lightly whisk to break up the egg and keep the honey off the bottom.
Tip the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently combine together until a dough starts to come together.
Turn the rough dough out onto a floured bench and knead for 10 minutes, add some extra four if needed, but just enough to stop it from sticking to your hands. When ready the dough bounces back when 2 fingers are pressed into it.
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap (or a kitchen towel) then leave in a warm spot to double in size. This will take between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
Gently warm a Dutch oven to about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
Shape the risen dough into round balls about the size of golf balls. Coat in a little butter or bacon grease and place into the pre-warmed Dutch oven just touching each other. Leave for 30 minutes to rise or until their size has doubled.
When risen bring the Dutch oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), then cook for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the bread gets to 195 degrees F (90 degrees C.)
Butter the tops of the rolls with melted butter and serve hot.
