Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the rolls
  • 5 tbsp Butter Melted, divided into two portions
  • 1 cup whole milk Heated to 100-110 degrees F
  • 2 envelopes Active Dry Yeast Can substitute with instant yeast
  • ⅓ cup honey For the bread dough
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 large egg Added to the dough
  • 3 ½ – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour Start with 3 ½ cups and add more as needed
  • 1 tbsp honey For brushing on top of rolls

Method
 

Preparation
  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.
Rising and Baking
  1. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Place them in a 9x13 baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 10-25 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the rolls.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
Finishing Touches
  1. 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.

Notes

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave. For a savory twist, add garlic powder or herbs to the butter; for a sweet version, add cinnamon to the dough.
