Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm whole milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted plus extra for brushing
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp honey (for honey butter)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) softened unsalted butter (for honey butter)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) with 2 tbsp sugar and the yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine 4 cups flour with 1 tsp salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, 2 eggs, and 6 tbsp melted butter. Mix until dough starts coming together.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or use a stand mixer with dough hook for 5-6 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky.
  4. First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls: Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces (~2.5 oz/70 g each). Roll each into an oval, brush one half with melted butter, fold over, and press edges gently. Place folded side down in greased baking pan, slightly touching.
  6. Second rise: Cover rolls and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy but not doubled.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with melted butter and bake 18-22 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  8. Prepare honey butter: Mix 1/4 cup softened butter with 3 tbsp honey until smooth.
  9. Finish and serve: Brush warm rolls generously with honey butter and serve immediately.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, add flour sparingly. Do not rush rising times for best texture. Proof yeast properly to ensure dough rises. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter. Rolls can be refrigerated overnight after shaping and baked next day.
