• Meanwhile, a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the honey and butter for 30 seconds on medium speed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Gradually add the warm water/yeast mixture along with the buttermilk and orange juice.
• With mixing speed on low, add the salt, vital wheat gluten and the flour (one cup at a time), mix until a soft and sticky dough forms.
• If using a stand mixer, switch to the dough hook and set on the lowest mixing setting for 3 minutes or until the dough becomes elastic (you may need to add a bit of additional flour (part or all of the 1/4 c.) or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes. The dough should be tacky, if you pinch it between your fingers it should stick, but if you roll it in a ball in your hands it shouldn't. Just remember this is a soft dough and you don't want to add too much flour to it.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes).
• Once the dough has doubled, punch it down, turn it onto a clean surface (you may need just a bit of flour to prevent it from sticking) and knead it for 2 minutes. Then let it rest for 5 minutes (I cover mine up again. Cut it into 12 equal pieces.

• Place into an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls for 17-20 minutes or until tops are lightly golden brown in color. Just keep an eye on them, they may take a little less or a little more time. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining butter. Serve immediately!
