Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Canola oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt replacement (optional)
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds or sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the water until it's warm to the touch, approximately 110°F (43°C).

Step 3

Add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring well to combine.

Step 4

Add the canola oil, honey, and 2 of the eggs to the mixture. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a clean, damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.

Step 11

Sprinkle the rolls with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
