HONEY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour and yeast in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk, honey, margarine and salt just until warm (115 to 120°F) 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°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool on a wire rack.
• Makes 36 rolls.

Steps:

• 1. If using frozen bread dough, thaw according to package directions. Cut each loaf into 12 pieces. If using your own dough recipe, divide into 24 pieces. Lightly butter (2) 9x13 baking dishes. with lightly floured hands, roll dough into "rope" shape, then coil into "snail" shape roll and place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with each piece of dough, placing 12 rolls into each pan. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick pan coating spray. Let rise in a warm place until rolls have doubled in size.
• 2. While the rolls are raising, prepare the honey batter. In a glass or stainless steel bowl that is completely clean and residue free, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar until all is incorporated. Blend in the softened butter until well combined, then blend in the honey. Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and space the racks evenly.
• 3. When the rolls have fully risen, place a very generous dollop of batter on every roll, making sure that each one is covered well. Place the pands in the preheated oven and bake for 45 - 50 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through. Allow the rolls to cool slightly and serve warm. When serving use a good spatula that will go all the way under the roll and the gooey honey goodness that is underneath.

• Notes from me: I use rapid rise yeast and powdered milk for this, so I put the 4 cups of flour, dry yeast, sugar and 1 cup milk powder in the mixer, and add 4 1/4 cups hot water. Proceed as directed.
• My favorite method for forming these rolls is the drop method above. I spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and use it to scoop the dough straight out of the bowl.
