                    Ingredients
                    
                      1 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces 
                      1/2 cup honey 
                      2 cup boiling water 
                      2 package dry yeast (1/4 oz each) 
                      1/3 cup warm water (110-115 degrees) 
                      2 eggs, beaten 
                      1 tsp baking powder 
                      1 tsp salt 
                      3 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 
                      4 cup all-purpose flour (up to 4-1/2 cups, if needed) 
                      1 sliced ham, cheese and lettuce, opt, .
  
                     
 
                     
                    
                      
                    Preparation
                    
                      Place butter and honey in large mixing bowl; pour the boiling water 
                      over and set aside to cool to 110-115 degrees. In a small bowl, 
                      dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. To honey mixture, add eggs, 
                      baking powder and salt. Add yeast mixture and whole wheat flour; 
                      beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft 
                      dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, 
                      about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease 
                      top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. 
                      Punch dough down; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 
                      each half to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2 inch cutter. Place 
                      on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until 
                      doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or 
                      until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Make into 
                      small sandwiches, if desired, by filling with ham, cheese and 
                      lettuce, or serve plain. Yield: 4-5 dozen. (I would think you could 
                      fill them with anything you liked, ham salad, chicken salad, 
                      whatever!)
