In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, canola oil, and sugar until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the yeast mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing to form a soft dough. Start with 2 1/2 cups of flour and add more as needed until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a roll and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they are puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Bake the challah rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
