Molasses Brown Bread Rolls are soft and tender. Molasses and a bit of honey give this easy brown bread recipe a mild sweetness. Topped with our special butter makes them unforgettable.
Combine warm water and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add the egg, honey, molasses, whole wheat flour, cocoa, brown sugar, and salt, to the yeast mixture. Mix together using the paddle attachment until combined.
Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook. Add one cup of the all-purpose flour and mix on low until combined. Gradually add another ½ to ¾ cup of all-purpose flour until dough starts to ball and leaves the sides of the bowl. Beat on low for 7 minutes, adding additional flour if necessary.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until tight and smooth, 4 to 5 times. Place the dough in a large lightly oiled bowl, turning once to oil both sides of the dough ball.Cover the dough and allow it to rise until doubled in size, 90 minutes.
Punch down dough and form 16 rolls. Place in a greased 9X13 inch pan and allow to rise again for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cornflour or oats (optional)
Bake for 22 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 190 °F.
