Prep Time: 50 minutes
Proof Time: 45 minutes
Bake Time: 12 to 17 minutes 

INGREDIENTS
5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 envelopes rapid rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups water 
6 tablespoons honey 
1/4 cup corn or vegetable oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 eggs, divided 
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour 
2 tablespoons poppy seed or sesame seed

DIRECTIONS

Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, undissolved yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Heat water, honey, and oil until very warm (120° to 130°F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of an electric mixer.

Reduce speed to low; beat in mayonnaise, 2 eggs and whole wheat flour. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in 3 to 3-1/2 cups flour until dough is easy to handle.

Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding remaining flour if necessary. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Punch dough down; divide into thirds. Working with one third at a time, divide each third into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a 1-inch ball. Place 3 balls in each of 36 greased (2-1/2-inch) muffin pan cups. Cover; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 35 minutes.

Beat remaining egg slightly; brush on rolls. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 375°F for 12 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans. Serve warm.

TIP: If using dark nonstick muffin pans, rolls will brown quickly. Check for doneness at minimum bake time.
