I’ve been in a whole wheat mood lately, which isn’t very obvious when you look at my recent posts, but we do eat rather healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Anyway, I’ve always loved homemade rolls, I don’t think there’s anything better than a warm roll topped with butter. So when I was looking for a recipe that could be easily adapted into a semi-whole wheat version, I turned to the Pioneer Woman. She’s got a fantastic recipe for no-knead dinner rolls that you bake in muffin tins which is awesome for someone like myself that doesn’t own a bread machine. These rolls are almost effortless, aside from rolling them into little balls and waiting for them to rise, you will definitely be able to finish prepping the rest of dinner while they do their thing. Oh, and if you want to go whole wheat all of the way, I applaud you 😉 I’m sure they’re just as tasty, we just prefer ours to be half & half. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons wheat flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Combine flours in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together, then set aside.
- In a Dutch oven set over medium-low heat, combine milk, sugar, and oil. Whisk to combine and allow the mixture to heat to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). Once the mixture has reached that point, turn the heat off and allow it to sit for about 20 minutes or until the temperature has reduced to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
- Add the yeast, then 2 cups of flour. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix until the flour is incorporated. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid or towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- When the dough has doubled, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining ¼ cup of flour, and stir to combine.
- Lightly spray or butter two standard-sized muffin pans.
- Roll the dough into 1½-inch balls. Place three balls in each muffin cup. Cover each pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and bake for 12-16 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Optional: Rub warm tops of rolls with butter.)
NOTES
Adapted from The Pioneer Woman, PW Dinner Rolls
-I’ve made these rolls several times, and baking them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) gives the best results. PW suggests 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius), but in my oven, they burn after just 8 minutes!
Once cooled, STORE the Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls in an airtight container, with a layer of aluminum foil wrapped over it, at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, FREEZE them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.
To REHEAT, warm in a 350 degrees F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Just discovered your blog… and I love it! Great job. These rolls also look amazing. I love that they’re half whole wheat, and half white flour.
You would never know from my blog, but we actually eat pretty healthy here too! Although I haven’t subbed in wheat flour yet. I really like that these are baked in a muffin tin too. Looks great!!!
