Yield 24 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons dry active yeast
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, heated to lukewarm
1/2 cup melted butter
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Dissolve yeast, honey and buttermilk by stirring together.
Stir in melted butter.
Mix in 2 cups flour, baking soda and salt. Beat well, cover. (Hint- put saran wrap directly over dough and then cover with towel.)
Place near warm area such as heated oven and let rise 2 inches up the bowl. (Approximately 25 minutes.).
Stir down, then add enough flour to make soft dough, attempting to get in the remaining 3 cups. Start by stirring the flour in, then try kneading as much of the remaining flour in as possible.
Lightly oil a clean bowl and place dough into it. Cover, place in warm place and let rise until doubled. (Approximately 30 minutes.).
Punch down.
Divide into 24 pieces. Form into well-rounded smooth balls.
Place 1 inch apart in oiled pan.
Cover, place in warm place and let rise until doubled. (Approximately 30 minutes.).
Bake for 20 minutes in pre-heated 400 degree oven.
For softer, even better rolls, butter top of rolls after removing from oven.
