Start with 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey in a mixing bowl.

Add 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixture.

Pour in 1 cup of warm water, ensuring it's not hot.

Add 1 teaspoon of instant yeast and mix until the dough starts to come together.

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into the dough.

Mix the dough on high speed for 5 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl.

Wet your hands to prevent the sticky dough from sticking to them.

Let the dough sit in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Pat the dough out on a floured surface into a big rectangle.

Cut the rectangle into 3 strips, then cut each strip into 5 pieces.

Stretch each piece of dough slightly and fold it over.

Place the shaped dough pieces in a greased baking dish to rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls until they are golden brown.
