Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 electric mixer (optional)
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 plastic wrap
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
- 1 brush for butter (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk about 110°F or 43°C
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted (for brushing)
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened (for cinnamon honey butter)
- ½ cup honey for cinnamon honey butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon for cinnamon honey butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy.
- Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter while they are still warm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and cinnamon to make the Cinnamon Honey Butter.
- Serve the warm rolls with cinnamon honey butter on the side.
Notes
For a sweeter roll, increase the sugar to your taste.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-made dough found in stores for quicker preparation.
These rolls freeze well; store them in an airtight container after cooling completely. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
