These whole wheat rolls are one of our favorites. The recipe uses 100% whole wheat flour and no all-purpose flour. I used the regular Aashirvad whole wheat flour that I use to make chapathis every day. It is 100% whole wheat flour. It just requires a little bit more liquid than the ones that are made with all-purpose flour. The rolls are very soft that people may not believe if they come to know it is made with only 100% whole wheat flour. I have tried these with the Khazana brand whole wheat flour that I get from Costco, and it works fine.

Also, I didn't add extra gluten. Just trying to make it simple with simple everyday ingredients to make healthy and flavorful bread every day. I got my bread machine 4 years back and tried to make bread using the machine following a couple of books. Slowly, over many trials, I tweaked the recipe constantly to suit the need for a 100% whole wheat bread without adding extra gluten.
I can't keep track of how many times I have used this recipe. This is one of the bread that we make often in our home. These rolls are great that you will start to finish as soon as they are out of the oven. They are great with soups and stews. We use it as pav for pav bhaji. Tastes great with a little butter/cream cheese and jam for a breakfast. Or just dip in milk/tea/coffee latte and enjoy the bread.

Thanks Swathi. Yes, since these are made with our regular chapathi flour, we tend to make these often and they taste great with dals too.
