In a small bowl, dissolve 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 0.5 cup of warm water. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of low-fat milk until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture, milk mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large bowl lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the dough balls evenly in the baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, low-fat classic yeast rolls!
