Ingredients:
For the Rolls:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
- Warm the whole milk in a microwave or on the stovetop until it’s just slightly warmer than room temperature. It should be warm but not hot.
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm milk. Add a pinch of the granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- To the yeast mixture, add the remaining granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, salt, and the large egg. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size.
Step 3: Shape and Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Place the dough balls in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Cover them again and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
Step 4: Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- When the rolls are fresh out of the oven, brush them with some of the prepared cinnamon honey butter.
- Serve the warm rolls with the remaining cinnamon honey butter for dipping and spreading.
