  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Real Salt
  • 1/2 cup Very hot tap water

Notes

1. In a saucepan, heat honey, butter, milk, and salt until scalded. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. In a small bowl, mix water and 1 tablespoon of honey. Add yeast and leave to proof for a few minutes.
3, In mixing bowl combine eggs, 1 1/2 cups of flour, and milk mixture. Mix well.
4. Add yeast mixture. Mix well.
5. While mixing, add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until it reaches a smooth satiny consistency (3-4 cups for white flour, 4-5 for whole grain).
6. Knead on floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes.
7. Place in greased bowl and cover loosely with greased plastic wrap until doubles in size (about 45 minutes).
8. Shape into rolls about golf ball size and place in greased cake pan.
9. Cover loosely and leave in warm place to rise about 30-45 minutes.
10. Bake at 350º for about  25-30 minutes until golden brown (Rolls with whole grain einkorn flour will not darken very much so be aware of that).

Note: These also make great cinnamon rolls. At step 8, roll dough out into a thin rectangle. Cover with butter, cinnamon, and sugar of your choice (We used sucanat). Roll up into long cylinder and cut into rolls with a string or piece of floss. Then follow steps nine and ten.
