Ingredients

Scale

Rolls

  • 1 tablespoon water, warmed (about 105-115°F)
  • 6 tablespoons (75 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk, warmed (about 105-115°F)
  • 7 tablespoons (99 g) unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 ½ cups (444.5 g) bread flour

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the warmed water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and slightly foamy.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: Add the remaining 5 tablespoons of sugar, melted butter (6 tablespoons), warmed milk, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add egg: Add the room temperature egg and mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Add flour and mix: Gradually add the bread flour to the wet mixture. Beat at medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides to ensure an even mix.
  5. Knead dough: Continue kneading the dough on low speed for an additional 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. First rise: Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick spray, place the dough inside, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
  7. Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  8. Shape rolls: Gently punch down the risen dough to deflate. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces by cutting or dividing in halves. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  9. Second rise: Place the dough balls evenly spaced in the prepared pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until nearly doubled in size.
  10. Preheat oven: During the last few minutes of the second rise, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Bake rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  12. Brush with butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and brush immediately with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter for extra richness.
  13. Prepare cinnamon honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  14. Serve: Serve the warm rolls with the cinnamon honey butter spread on top or on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure water and milk are warmed to about 105-115°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • For best results, use fresh yeast and check expiration dates.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment to ensure proper fermentation.
  • Do not overbake the rolls to keep them soft and tender.
  • Try serving these rolls warm with additional honey butter for extra indulgence.
