Honey yeast rolls



Ingredients:
1 packet yeast
1 cup warm water (110*)
1/4 cup honey
3 TBL canola oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 2/3 cup flour
2 TBL butter, melted
2 TBL honey
2 TBL sugar in the raw (optional if you don't have honey)

Directions:
In the bowl of  a stand mixer, combine yeast and warm water.  Let sit 5 or so minutes till the yeast starts to foam.  Add honey, oil, sea salt and egg and mix on low.  Add flour, one cup at a time, and mix with a dough hook for 8 or so minutes, till the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl and is elastic.
Smooth the dough into a large ball.  Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place 2 hours or until dough doubles.
Preheat oven to 400.  Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute.  Let rest about 10 minutes.  Divide dough into 10 equal little balls.  Make the balls of dough smooth by rolling in between your hands, then "pinching" the dough at the bottom so it doesn't show.  Place rolled balls in a 10 inch round baking dish that has been oiled or sprayed with cooking spray.  Space the dough evenly in the baking dish.  Cover with a towel and let rise 30 minutes.
Melt butter and honey (or sugar in the raw) in a sauce pan.  Brush butter mixture over the rolls before baking.  Bake at 400 for 15 min.  Cover with foil so they don't get too brown and continue to bake for another 5 minutes.  They should be a nice, rich, golden brown.
Cool lightly before eating.
