In a small mixing bowl, combine the water, yeast, and 1 tspn of sugar. Stir with a fork to combine, and then keep it aside.
In a medium-large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the warm milk, oil or butter, salt, honey or molasses, and 1tbsp sugar. Stir to combine.
Now take another large mixing bowl and combine the two wet mixtures and stir. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough, and continue to add flour and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms that will take round 10-15 minutes.
If you are using a stand mixer, pour both wet mixtures into mixer bowl. Add the flour and allow it to mix until a smooth, soft dough forms, adding more flour as needed. When dough is smooth and elastic, turn off mixer.
Now allow dough to rest for 5-10 minutes. Cover it with a tea towel and keep it aside.
While dough is resting, grease your baking tray.
Turn oven on to 200 degrees F and set a timer for 3 minutes.
After 2 minutes, turn off the oven. You should leave the door shut so it stays warm inside.
Now cut dough into 4 pieces.One divide in half, then divide each half in half again. Now you will get four pieces.
Form each piece of dough into a roll.
To make rosette-shaped dinner rolls, roll each piece of dough into a rope about 8 inches long.
Tie the rope into a knot, with two long "tails" remaining.
Tuck one tail under and one tail over, tucking in the middle, to make the rosette shape.Place rolls on your greased tray.
You can go through the below video which I made to show how to shape the rosette dinner rolls.
Cover lightly with a clean towel and place sheets in the warm oven . Now no need to turn on the oven.
Allow the rolls to rise until nearly doubled. This should take about 30 minutes.
When rolls are almost doubled in size, remove them from the oven.
If you want, you can brush these dinner rolls with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds before baking.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake Dinner rolls for about 15-20 minutes, until done.
