Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 pkt dry yeast
butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup warm water
2 x eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup honey
Instructions:
Instructions: Mix 3/4 cup flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast in large bowl. Add softened butter. Gradually add water and beat 2 minutes on medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat on high speed 2 minutes,
scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled.

Punch dough down. Divide in halves. On lightly floured board, roll half of dough to 15- x 12 inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons softened butter.

Fold in half. Roll out again to 15- x 12 inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons more butter. Fold in
half and roll out to 18- x 6 inch rectangle. Cut dough lengthwise into 6

(1 inch) strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise so that it is 1/2 inch wide.

Gently roll to round and lengthen each strip to rope 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Hold one end of each rope
firmly and wind dough loosely around to form coil. Tuck end underneath. Place on greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough.

Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled. Heat honey until thin. Gently brush rolls with half of honey and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 400xF 15 minutes or until browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.

Drizzle while hot with remaining honey.
