• Dissolve yeast in water.
• Add all ingredients except 3-4 cups of flour in a bread mixer.
• Mix until smooth.
• Gradually add the remaining flour.
• Don't knead. (Mix for about 30 seconds after last cup of flour.)
• Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about an hour. (My friend lets hers rise in the oven for quicker rising - Preheat oven to 350℉ for 1 minute, then turn off the oven and place dough in the oven. So it never reaches 350℉ - it just starts to heat and then holds in the heat after one minute of heating up. be sure to cancel the oven before sticking the dough in.)
• Punch dough down.
• Flour your surface and place dough onto it. (Some people like to oil their surface)
• Divide dough into 3 equal sections.
• Roll each section into a circle (about 12 inches in diameter) and cut each circle into 12 slices (like a pizza).
• Roll each slice from biggest end to smallest end (like a croissant) and place on a greased cookie sheet (they can all fit on one large cookie sheet).
• Cover and let rise until doubled.
• Bake at 400℉ for 15 minutes. (I've found that in my oven, they need to cook at 375℉ so they don't burn on top. And I always rub them with butter as soon as they're out of the oven.)

Honey Butter

• Whip butter, add vanilla and egg yolk. Gradually whip in honey until light and fluffy. Makes 1 ½ cups.
