Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (approximately 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon low sodium baking powder
- 0.5 cup non-fat milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of honey. Sprinkle 1 packet of active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of low sodium baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce, 0.5 cup of non-fat milk, and 1 egg.
Add the wet ingredients and the foamy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or on a baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
