Method

For the Rolls

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted unsalted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Rolls

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until doubled.

  7. 7

    Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool the Rolls

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

For the Honey Butter

  1. 9

    Prepare the Honey Butter

    In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and honey. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the honey butter alongside the warm rolls for a delightful pairing.
