Preparation Steps
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
Add flour, salt, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the Honey Paste
In a small bowl, combine honey, softened butter, and cinnamon powder. Mix well and set aside.
Shape the Rolls
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the honey paste evenly over the surface.
Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip and shape it into a roll. Place the rolls in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper.
Steam the Rolls
Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot. Place the steamer basket with rolls over boiling water, cover, and steam for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
