Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 F.
-
In a stand mixer, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, salt, and yeast.
-
Add whole wheat flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until a thick batter forms.
-
Switch to a dough hook, add the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and mix for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
-
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
-
Divide the dough into 8 portions, shape each into a ball, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
-
For the topping, whisk together rice flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
-
Combine oil with warm water, then add this mixture to the dry topping ingredients and whisk until combined. Let stand for 20 minutes until bubbly.
-
Brush the topping generously onto the rolls, then let them rise, uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes.
-
Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
-
Cool rolls slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
