I am a fan of carbs in any form, but I especially love bread and rolls. I have made a couple of different recipes for dinner rolls before but these were absolutely outstanding! By far the best homemade rolls I have had. These were the perfect accompaniment for our beef stew, and were excellent the following evening with our chicken. (Incidentally, they are also great grabbed and stuffed in your mouth for a snack when you are running out the door.) Make these tonight, you won’t be sorry! I will make these again and again.
Honey Yeast Rolls
Ingredients:
2 ¼ tsp. instant yeast
1 cup warm water (105°-115° F)
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp. canola oil
1 ¼ tsp. salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 cups bread flour
vegetable cooking spray
1 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tbsp honey
Directions:
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast and warm water. Add the honey, oil, salt, and egg and mix well. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix until the dough comes together in a sticky mass. With the mixer on low speed, add the remaining 1 cup flour and mix until it is incorporated into the dough. Switch to the dough hook, and continue kneading on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until it doubles in bulk, about 2 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 30 seconds. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Punch the dough down and divide into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place into a round, lightly greased baking dish, spacing evenly. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 20 minutes. Mix together the melted butter and honey, and brush lightly over the tops of the rolls. Bake at 400° for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Annie – your rolls always look so delicious! I think I’m going to try to make these this week.
I just made a focaccia that turned out horrible (I’ve made it before and it was fine)…any advice? Maybe the temp of the yeast? Do you actually measure the temp or just wing it? Check out my last post for the bad bread
.

Wow, those look SUPER fabulous. I LOVE breads, especially when they are slightly sweet!
