Honey Challah Rolls
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups bread flour
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup hot water (120 to 130 degrees)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons oil
- sesame seeds
- Note: You can save a lot of time here if you have a bread machine that has a manual setting that allows the bread machine to stop after the mixing and first rising and not go into a Bake cycle.
- Many of the better machines have that option specifically so you can make rolls instead of a whole bread loaf.
- If so add the above ingredients to your bread machine, remembering to separate one egg and reserve it's egg white for later as explained in step 3.
- Set the bread machine to the manual cycle so it will mix but not bake.
- Then after the bread machine is done follow the recipe from step 5 on.
- In electric mixer, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, yeast, and salt, blending well.
- Separate one egg; set white aside.
- Add yolk and remaining egg, hot water, honey, and oil to flour mixture.
- Mix vigorously, then knead with dough hook for about 6 minutes, adding flour if sticky, until smooth and elastic.
- Or turn out onto floured board and knead about 10 minutes.
- Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and damp towel.
- Let rise in warm place about 30 minutes.
- Punch down; let rest 5 minutes.
- Divide evenly; shape into 16 balls.
- Arrange in greased 9-inch layer cake pan, working from outside in, placing 10 around perimeter, then 5, and 1 in center.
- Lightly beat reserved egg white and brush over rolls.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 15 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees about 22 minutes, until golden brown.
