        "Pour the water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it. Wait about 5 minutes, until the yeast starts to bubble gently.",

        "Add the flour and stir until a dough forms.",
        "Knead for 7-8 minutes, by hand or with the dough hook of a stand mixer, until elastic.",
        "Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours, until doubled.",
        "Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.",
        "Shape into round rolls and set them on a baking sheet lined with lightly greased parchment paper.",
        "Cover with a clean towel and let rise again for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).",
        "In a small bowl, mix the butter and honey and gently brush it over the risen rolls.",
        "Bake for 10-13 minutes, until golden."

  "tips": [
    "If the dough is very sticky I add a little flour, but carefully, never too much. The longer I knead, the easier it is to handle."
