Description
Soft, pillowy dinner rolls with a sweet honey butter glaze, perfect for any meal or occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 3/4 cups (470 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk, warmed to 110°F (43°C)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter for glaze
- 1 tablespoon honey for glaze
Instructions
- Warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) of active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine 3 3/4 cups (470 g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the yeast mixture, 1 large egg, and 4 tablespoons (60 g) of melted unsalted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-6 minutes with a stand mixer, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, but don’t overdo it—it should be slightly tacky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for another 30-45 minutes, until they’re puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
- While the rolls are baking, melt 2 tablespoons (30 g) of butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of honey. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with the glaze.
Notes
Ensure the milk is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast. Be patient with the rising process for the fluffiest rolls. Use a kitchen scale for evenly sized rolls.
