Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and instant yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Once the yeast is activated, add the melted butter, honey, and egg to the bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm location for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
  8. Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them again, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for added flavor and shine.

Notes

These rolls pair beautifully with a variety of dishes. Serve warm with butter.
