I'll try the recipe as written first. Then maybe I'll try the other recipe you mentioned from the Kind Arthur site. I have bulk wheat grains that i grind up fresh that I'll use. Do you know how long vital wheat gluten lasts? I bought some a few months ago and have kept it in the fridge. You're tutorial is especially nice for me since I've NEVER made rolls! I have a whole-wheat sourdough bread that I make regularly but that's about it. Hmm, I wonder if the vital wheat gluten would work well in that too? Thanks Annalise!

I think visuals really help, too. Generally speaking in the breads category, you can substitute whole wheat flour for up to half of the white flour in the recipe. That said, this recipe as it is produces very soft, tender rolls. The kind that literally seem to melt in your mouth. Whole wheat will change that. Personally, I would not sub a lot of whole wheat into this recipe. Maybe sub 1 1/2 cups at most. And, if you have it, I would add some vital wheat gluten to it. I find that it helps whole grains rise and produce a more tender result. I do not have another recipe that I could personally recommend, but King Arthur Flour is a great resource, and I found a recipe for their <a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/RecipeDisplay?RID=23" rel="nofollow">Honey Wheat Rolls</a>. It is one of their 'KAF Guaranteed" recipes, which means that if you follow everything exactly, and use the ingredients they specify (i.e., their flours) and it does not perform, they'll send you a gift card for $5 to their catalog.

I'm such a visual person and really appreciate them! I was wondering, can I substitute freshly ground whole wheat flour for part of the recipe or do you have another recipe you would recommend for whole wheat rolls?
