Cheddar Bacon Rolls

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the yeast and 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. Whisk in the remaining water and salt. Mix in the whole wheat flour and about 1 1/2 cups of the all purpose flour. Mix until a dough forms, adding flour a little at a time as necessary.

3. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead until a soft and elastic dough forms.

4. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.

5. After risen, punch down the dough and turn out onto a floured board. Knead slightly and then roll the dough out into a sheet about 13x17 inches.

6. Brush the dough with 2 Tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle the dough with bacon bits and cheese. Just like topping a pizza.

7. On the short end of the dough, roll it up like a cinnamon roll. Keep it tight.

8. Slice the loaf into 6 even pieces. Place these slices into an oiled casserole dish (approximately 11 by 9" - a little larger / smaller is fine), about 2" apart.

9. Let rise 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
