Ingredients

2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons light-flavor olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup water

Directions

Place first eight ingredients in a bread machine in the order listed. Add yeast as directed and prepare dough according to manufacturer's instructions. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in volume. Knead slightly and then divide the dough into 8 portions. Place the portions evenly spaced on a baking sheet. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove plastic wrap from rolls. Lightly brush each with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 8 rolls.
