How to Make 30-Minute Honey Butter Rolls

Ingredients

• 5 tbsp. Butter
• 1 c. whole milk
• 2 envelopes Active Dry Yeast
• ⅓ c. honey
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1 large egg
• 3 ½ – 4 ½ c. all-purpose flour
• 4 tbsp. Melted butter, divided
• 1 tbsp. Honey

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and milk together. Heat until the temperature reaches between 100-110 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast and honey. Pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl. Stir to combine, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
3. Using the paddle attachment, add the egg and salt to the yeast mixture. Switch to the dough hook and add the flour one cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and clings to the dough hook. The dough will be sticky.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Place them in a 9×13 baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 10-25 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the rolls. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
6. Lastly, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the honey. After baking, brush the rolls with the melted butter and honey. Serve warm as desired.
