SOFT WHOLE-WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Whisk milk, sugar, butter, oil and 2 eggs in a large bowl. Whisk yeast, whole-wheat flour, 1-1/2 c. cake flour and salt in a medium bowl. Stir yeast-flour mixture into liquid mixture, forming a very sticky dough. Sprinkle 1/2 c. cake flour on work surface. Turn out dough and knead until all the flour is incorporated. Spray a large bowl with Pam. Transfer dough to bowl, cover with saran and let rise at room temperature until doubled, 1-1/4 to 2 hours. Coat 9x13 baking pan with Pam. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and pat into rough 7x10 rectangle. Cut into 24 equal portions. Form each into a ball and arrange in prepared pan. Cover with saran and let rise at room temperature about 1-1/4 hours. (Alternately, rolls can be refrigerated overnight, allowing more time later for final rising.) Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk 1 egg and brush tops of rolls, sprinkling with wheat germ or bran. Bake until light brown on top, about 20 minutes.
