Step-by-step

• In a large bowl, mix together water, yeast, and honey. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.
• Add melted butter, salt, and egg.
• Gradually stir in the flour. The dough will be sticky but manageable. Cover the bowl of dough with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• With your hands, shape dough into 12-16 balls. Place the balls so that they don’t touch each other on a buttered cookie sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
• Bake rolls in a 375° oven for 10-15 minutes.
• If you like (and I do recommend it), brush tops of rolls with a mixture of 4 Tablespoons of butter and 1 Tablespoon honey. Perfection.
