Ingredients
-
For the Rolls:
-
3½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2¼ tsp active dry yeast
-
1¼ cups warm milk (110°F/43°C)
-
½ cup honey or sugar
-
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 large egg
-
~3–4 Tbsp warm water (if needed)
-
-
For Cinnamon Honey Butter:
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¼ cup honey
-
¼ cup powdered sugar
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
Instructions
-
Activate Yeast – Whisk warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let stand until foamy (~5–10 min).
-
Make Dough – In mixer, beat butter, egg, salt into milk mixture. Gradually add flour. Knead until smooth, adding water if needed.
-
First Rise – Cover bowl; let dough rise in warm place until doubled (~1 hour).
-
Shape Rolls – Punch dough, roll out, cut into 12–16 pieces. Place on greased sheet or pan.
-
Second Rise – Cover; let rise until puffy (~30–45 min).
-
Bake – Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Bake rolls 15–20 min until golden brown.
-
Brush Butter – Immediately brush tops with melted butter after baking.
-
Make Honey Butter – Whip butter, honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Serve with warm rolls.
Notes
Use whole milk for richer rolls.
Don’t skip the second rise—fluffiness depends on it.
A stand mixer with dough hook saves time.
Brush butter before and after baking for glossy tops.
