1 tsp salt
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

2 tsp instant yeast
-
1 large egg
For the Honey Butter
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened

¼ cup honey
🥣 Step 1 — Make the Dough
-
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until frothy.
-
Add butter, salt, and egg; mix to combine.
-
Gradually add flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
🕒 Step 2 — First Rise
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap.
-
Let rise in a warm place 1–1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
🥯 Step 3 — Shape Rolls
-
Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
-
Shape each into a smooth ball and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
-
Cover and let rise 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
🔥 Step 4 — Bake
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake rolls 15–18 minutes, until lightly golden.
-
Remove from oven and brush generously with melted butter.
🍯 Step 5 — Honey Butter
-
In a small bowl, mix softened butter and honey until smooth.
-
Serve alongside warm rolls.
⭐ Tips
-
For extra soft rolls: replace ¼ cup of flour with an equal amount of cornstarch.
-
Brushing rolls with melted butter immediately after baking keeps them soft.
-
Let rolls cool slightly before slicing for the perfect texture.
If you want, I can also give a quick rise version, a copycat honey-cinnamon butter recipe, or a freezer-friendly batch so you can enjoy them anytime.
