Grab a heavy-duty mixer and insert the dough hook.  Add the first 3 ingredients to the bowl (1/2 cup very warm water, honey and yeast).  Put the lid on the mixer, give it a quick spin (to combine ingredients) and let the yeast activate.

Warm the buttermilk.  Melt the butter.

Grind 4 cups of hard white wheat berries and sift.

Once the yeast is activated, add the warm buttermilk, melted butter, and beaten egg into the mixing bowl on top of the yeast.  Add 3 cups of the flour, sugar, and salt on top. Mix on low to incorporate.  Add additional flour until the sides of the mixer begin to clean.  This is a sticky dough.

Set mixer on medium to knead the dough for 7 minutes. After kneading, remove the dough hook & cover the dough, and let it rise until double. This will be a very soft, sticky dough.

Shape dough into balls about the size of golfballs.

Cover the yeast rolls (with plastic wrap or light clean towel) and let rise 30-60 minutes.

After rising (and before baking) melt 1/4 cup of butter and drizzle over the rolls.

Bake 375 degrees 10-12 minutes (or until brown on top).
