Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups warm milk 332 grams
2 eggs
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons oil
4 ¼ - 4 ½ cups freshly milled hard white wheat flour finely milled (553-618 grams)
2 ½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the milk, eggs, honey, and oil.
Add 3 ½ cups of flour, combine, and rest for 15 minutes.
After the rest, add the yeast, salt, and the remaining flour ½ a cup at a time, until it starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should come together, but still be somewhat sticky.
Knead for 8-12 minutes, until windowpane is reached.
Cover and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once risen, turn out onto a lightly floured or oiled surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls.
Place in a greased or parchment lined 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake for 18-24 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown.
