Golden Honey Rolls

Golden Honey Rolls

Serves 12

3 ½ c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 egg

2 Tbs. honey

1 c. milk, warmed (30 sec. in the microwave)

2 Tbs. oil

1 Tbs. fresh yeast

Directions: 

Using a bread machine set the menu for the dough cycle and place ingredients into the pan in the order listed. Check the dough as it starts mixing. The dough should appear in a rather tight ball if it is too wet add a few tablespoons of flour if it is too dry add a little milk.  Once a nice ball is formed leave the dough to do its think in the machine. 

After the first rise remove the dough from the pan and divide the dough in half, then each half into thirds and each of them into two. This gives you 12 balls of dough. Pull the dough with your thumbs down the sides pinching under the dough. You will need to do this a couple times until you have a nice skin on the ball of dough.  Place dough balls in a 9 x 13 greased pan. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let dough rise for 35 minutes where it should double in size. Then place rolls into the oven preheated to 350 degrees and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush tops with butter. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.
