Whole Wheat Crescent Rolls

Jeffrey loves crescent rolls.  But since I am trying to swear off white flour, it seemed we couldn't have his favorite rolls anymore.  Today he was having a bad day, so I decided to try and make them for him.  Whole Wheat style.  Yum!

What you need:
2 cups warm water
2 Tbsp yeast
1/2 cup pure dehydrated cane sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs
2 tsp salt
5-6 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed


What you do:
Combine water and yeast.  Let sit for ten minutes or until yeast has dissolved.  Add sugar milk oil eggs and salt.  Mix well.  Add flour.  I use six always, and it seems to be perfect.  Combine.  Cover in warm area for 45 minutes.  Punch dough down.  Cover and let sit another 45 minutes.  When 45 minutes are up, divide in half.  Roll out on a floured surface.  Spread more olive oil (or coconut oil) over the top.  Cover.  With a pizza cutter, cut into equal "slices."  Roll from the outside in making sure to tuck the end underneath when you set it on the lightly greased pan.  Bake at 400* for 10-15 minutes.  They are done when golden brown. 

So delicious, and so much better for you!  Enjoy!
