Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 400°. Beat egg white and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with poppy and/or sesame seeds. With scissors, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on tops of rolls. , Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Make the dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk flour and salt to combine. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with a dough hook. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together water, yeast, and honey; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs and whisk to combine. Add to flour mixture and knead on low speed until it forms a soft, stretchy dough, 6 to 8 minutes. If necessary, add more water, a tablespoon at a time. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thoroughly incorporated, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and remove from bowl. On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Fold dough into thirds like a business letter. Rotate dough 90 degrees on work surface and fold into thirds once more. Return dough to bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and cover lightly with plastic wrap. On a lightly floured work surface, pat one piece of dough at a time into a 5-by-3-inch rectangle. With a long side facing you, fold dough into thirds as you would a business letter. With the edge of your hand, pat dough along length of seam to seal. Using your hands, roll dough into a 12-inch rope. Tie rope into a simple knot, leaving a bit of length at each end. To finish the knot, pull one end up and over and tuck it into the center. Take remaining end and pull it down and under, pushing it through the bottom of the knot and up into the center. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Repeat process with remaining pieces of dough. Let rise, covered, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Make the topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush tops of rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake, rotating sheet pans between racks halfway through, until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients EXCEPT 1 Egg White and 2 tablespoons milk, those are for the egg wash. Place in machine in the order listed above or as described by your bread machine manual.
• Set machine to "DOUGH" cycle.
• After machine cycle stops take dough out and divide into eight balls on a lightly oiled surface. Shape dough into rolls by rolling flat and imprinting with a Kaiser stamp or by using this easy roll and knot technique from King Arthur Flour- http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2008/02/28/all-tied-up-shaping-kaiser-rolls/. Transfer rolls to baking sheet.
• Cover with a warm lightly damp towel and allow to rest for thirty minutes. Preheat oven to 4255 degrees F.
• Glaze tops of rolls with egg white mixture and top with seeds (optional).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees F or until golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and un dissolved yeast. (If using instant yeast if you are using regular bloomed yeast wait to add till step 2) and combine well.
• 2. Add Water and Oil and (bloomed yeast if you are using it) Using a dough hook or hands combine throughly, Then knead about 5 to 10 minutes adding flour if necessary, until if forms a nice soft ball.
• 3. Grease a large bowl with non stick spray and place dough in bowl, flipping it a couple of times to cover with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel and let rise, for about an hour or until doubled in size. ( If my house is cold in the winter I usually put it on a heating pad on low.)
• 4. At this point you want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees, you want it nice and HOT! Remove, pound down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. divide into 12 pieces, if you are using a scale about 4 and a quarter ounces a piece. Shape each piece into a ball. With very sharp knife cut a 1/4 in deep cross on tops of rolls. Place cut side down onto a greased cookie sheet and 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• 5. Whip together egg white and water. Flip balls over and brush egg white and water mixture. Add poppy seeds or sesame seeds at this time.
• 6. Bake at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Place on wire racks to cool. If you would like to you can cut this recipe in half.
• 7. If you would like to add herbs to this bread mix about a Tablespoon of dried herbs into the flour mixture. I would add oregano, and basil, when I am serving pizza burgers, I would add a little thyme and rubbed sage, if I am going to make left over turkey sandwiches from Thanksgiving.
