Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add warm water and 2 tablespoons butter; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in just enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (about 1/2 to 1 cup more). The dough will start to come away from the sides of the bowl when you have enough flour. Do not add too much flour or they will be dry.

Using a stand mixer, knead for about 4-6 minutes or until smooth. You can also knead on a floured surface by hand if you don't have a stand mixer. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 12-14 pieces. Shape each into a smooth ball pulling the tops of the ball down to the bottom and pinching. Place in a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan, or even a pie plate. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°. Bake rolls 11-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a small ramekin and stir in the honey. Brush over rolls.

Yield: 12-14 rolls
