Honey Dinner Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 1/4 - 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Preparation

Combine 2 cups flour and yeast in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk, honey, margarine and salt just until warm (115 to 120\u00b0F) and margarine is almost melted, stirring constantly. Add to flour mixture; add eggs.
Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 30 seconds; scrape sides of bowl constantly. Beat for 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 mins). Shape into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl, then turn it once. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 hour). Punch dough down; divide in half. Cover again; let rest 10 minutes.
Cut each dough half into 18 equal pieces. Roll into balls, and place in greased 2 1/2-inch muffin pans. Let rise until doubled (about 30 mins).
Bake in a 375\u00b0F oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool on a wire rack.
Makes 36 rolls.
