1/4 cup (none)
warm water
1 cup (110°F (45°C))

Instructions
1
Begin by adding the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, ensuring the yeast is added last and not in direct contact with the liquids.
2
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and start it. Allow the machine to mix and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3
Once the dough cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently punch down the dough to release any trapped air.
4
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball. Arrange the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
5
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
6
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 2 tablespoons of water. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls to give them a lovely golden color.
7
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
8
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. For an extra special touch, serve them with honey butter.
