Honey Yeast Rolls
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
- 1 cup Warm Water (105-115 Degrees F)
- 1/4 cups Honey
- 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Egg, Slightly Beaten
- 4 cups Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Honey (optional)
- Note-a stand mixer makes fast and easy work of these rolls, but they can also be made by hand.
- In a large bowl, stir together yeast and warm water. Mixture will bubble. To the yeast mixture, stir in the honey, oil, salt, and egg. Mix until evenly combined.
- Gradually stir in 3 cups of flour (the 4th cup will be added later). Dough will become sticky, but keep stirring until it comes together in a cohesive ball. Slowly stir in the remaining 1 cup of flour. Use a dough hook or knead by hand for 8-10 minutes, adding a sprinkle of flour as needed. Dough should be smooth and springy.
- Coat a large bowl with a light layer of oil. Move dough to this bowl, rolling it around to coat lightly with the oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a tea towel. Move to a warm place in your kitchen and let rise for 2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has finished rising, lightly flour a counter top or cutting board and knead dough briefly for 30 seconds to remove air bubbles. Let dough rest on the counter, covered with a tea towel, for another 10 minutes. Punch the dough down and use a knife or bench scraper to cut into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Spray a 10 inch round baking dish/deep dish pie plate with non-stick spray. Place dough into the pan, spacing evenly. Place the towel over the rolls and allow another 30 minutes to rise.
- Preheat the oven to 400F. If using the optional honey-butter spread, combine the melted butter and honey and brush on top of rolls. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are baked through. Serve warm.
