Honey White Dinner Rolls Recipe

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. In medium bowl, add yeast and water. Stir until yeast is dissolved. Stir in honey, salt, butter, and egg. Add 2 cups flour. Mix well. Continue to add enough flour until dough chases the spoon around the bowl. Turn dough out onto floured table. Knead dough for 8 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. Place dough in greased medium bowl and flip dough over so that the top is also lightly greased. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm, draft-free place.
   

3. Punch down dough. Turn dough out and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 10 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place rolls in greased 9-inch round pan. Cover with clean kitchen towel and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in a warm, draft-free place.
   

4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until buns are golden brown. Turn out. Let cool on rack.

Bread Baking Tips

• Learn how to make braided rolls with these pictured instructions.
• Learn how to make swirl rolls with these pictured instructions.
• Keep yeast stored in an airtight container and in the refrigerator. Heat, moisture, and air kills the yeast and prevents bread dough from rising.
• To keep the rolls soft, store them in a plastic bag.
• Store flour properly to keep it from spoiling.
• Bread flour has a higher amount of gluten than all-purpose flour. This means that bread made with bread flour will rise higher than bread made with all-purpose flour. You can make your own bread flour by adding 1-1/2 teaspoons gluten to each cup of all-purpose flour you use in your bread recipe.
• Add a half cup of raisins or dried cranberries to the bread dough for extra sweetness.
• You can omit the egg in this recipe and replace it with 1/4 cup water.
• Egg substitute can be used in place of the egg.
