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.

Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Brush with additional butter. Cool. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

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!
