COILED SWEET ROLLS

3 1/2 cups flour    
1/4 cup sugar     
1 teaspoon salt 
1 package dry yeast 
butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup warm water 
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup honey     
3/4 cup chopped almonds

Mix 3/4 cup flour, sugar, 
salt and undissolved yeast 
in large bowl.
Add softened butter. 
Gradually add water 
and beat 2 minutes on
medium speed of electric mixer, 
scraping bowl occasionally. 
Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour.  
Beat on high speed 2 minutes, 
scraping bowl occasionally. 
Stir in enough additional flour 
to make stiff dough. 
Turn out onto lightly floured 
board and knead until smooth
and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. 
Place in greased bowl, turning to
grease top. 
Cover and let rise 
in warm place until doubled.
Punch dough down. 
Divide in halves. 
On lightly floured board, roll
half of dough to 
15- x 12-inch rectangle. 
Spread with 2 tablespoons
softened butter. 
Fold in half. 
Roll out again to 15- x 12-inch
rectangle. 
Spread with 2 tablespoons more butter. 
Fold in half and
roll out to 18- x 6-inch rectangle. 
Cut dough lengthwise into 6
(1-inch) strips. 
Fold each strip in half 
lengthwise so that it is
1/2-inch wide. 
Gently roll to round and 
lengthen each strip to rope
1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. 
Hold one end of each rope firmly and
wind dough loosely around to form coil. 
Tuck end underneath. 
Place on greased baking sheets 
about 2 inches apart. 
Repeat with remaining dough. 
Cover and let rise in 
warm place until doubled. 
Heat honey until thin. 
Gently brush rolls with half 
of honey and sprinkle with
almonds. 
Bake at 400xF 15 minutes 
or until browned. 
Remove from baking sheets 
and cool on wire racks. 
Drizzle while hot with
remaining honey.
