Honey adds natural sweetness and moisture.

In a medium bowl, mix the dry yeast and warm water and let rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

In a large bowl, add the flour, salt and sugar, then mix well to combine. Make a little well in the center and add the yeast water mixture.

Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix everything until a dough starts to form.

Transfer the dough onto a floured flat surface and start to knead the dough. You should knead the dough for at least 10–15mins or until it becomes smooth and fairly elastic.

Lightly flour a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and cover with a tea towel or cling wrap. Let the dough rest for at least 2 hours.

After 2 hours, gently knead the dough for another 5 minutes and portion into 6 equal balls.

Transfer on a oven tray covered with baking/grease paper and use a knife to score a line in the middle of the roll.

Dust some flour over the bread rolls, cover with a tea towel and let rest again for 15–30mins.

In the meantime, pre-heat your oven to 230°C/450°F.

Bake the bread rolls in the oven for 12–15 mins.
