First, take your ingredients:

This is what it should look like
Now, add the honey,salt,and oil and two cups of the flour:

Let rest for 5 minutes:

Now set a timer for 4 min., and mix in the rest of your flour (around 5-6 cups) or until the dough forms a 'stretchy ball'...(Turn your mixer off after the timer goes off)


now take your 'ball' and form two loaves, place into a bowl,


let rise until doubled in size (around an hour) Sorry no picture!
Then roll the dough out on the counter and shape into balls,we used a jar top to make sure we had the same sized rolls :o)Then we rolled them into balls:


Bake at 350 for around 10-12 min. *If you want golden brown rolls brush with butter about 2 minutes before they come out of the oven* Yum!
