I love to bake and even have a small business selling bread. Making rolls and bread from scratch is an art easily mastered with practice. The swirled shape of these rolls is very attractive.

These do not seem like they will turn out. The dough is lumpy and different, then overnight... MAGIC! Unbelievable. I use WW pastry flour, that probably helps too. SOO good and light for a wheat roll.

The rolls were flavorful and had a great texture. The swirly shape made adding more butter tricky, but the kids enjoyed pulling them apart. The honey adds a nice touch of flavor. All in all, they were a tasty hit!
