Black Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls

Whole wheat bread is a favorite for people who are on a diet or have high blood sugar. Adding coconut oil makes it really fragrant, and the result is very soft and delicious. Although I’m not on a diet, I fell in love after one bite. Whole wheat flour is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6, niacin (vitamin B3), calcium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements. Compared to regular flour, it has the highest nutritional value among commonly found flours. As it contains crushed bran, the texture is rougher than standard flour, but the wheat aroma is stronger, making it healthier for the body.
