½
cup
warm water
(about 110F)
Pinch of ginger
½
cup
unsalted butter
, melted and cooled
¼
cup
brown sugar
3
eggs
, room temperature
1
cup

, warmed to about 110F
4-½
to 5 cups whole wheat flour
1-½
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
baking soda
⅓
cup

, unsalted butter for brushing the rolls
Instructions
Dissolve the yeast and ginger in the ½ cup warm water.
Let the yeast activate for about three minutes or so.
Mix 2 cups of the flour, salt, brown sugar, and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Mix the buttermilk and yeast together.
Beat
the eggs until
well blended
.
With the mixer on low add the buttermilk, beaten eggs, melted butter and the yeast mixture.
Add the remaining flour mixture a little at a time.
Continue beating on low until the ingredients are well mixed.
Change the speed to medium and knead the dough for three minutes.
Turn dough out onto a counter dusted with flour and knead for a couple more minutes – the dough will be smooth and just a little sticky.
Put into a greased bowl. Grease the top, and then cover the dough with a clean towel. Put in a warm spot to rise for about one hour.
It is ready when it has doubled and if you push your finger into the dough the indentation remains.
Knead for a minute or so and then cut the dough into 24 equal pieces.
Let rest for five minutes.
Shape each piece into a ball and place it in a buttered 13 x 9-inch pan. You can also drop each ball into a greased muffin tin.
Brush with melted butter.
Let rise for 45 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350F.
Brush gently with butter again and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and brush once more with butter.
Serve hot.
For brown and serve rolls only bake for 15 minutes and take them out when they are cooked through but not brown.
