30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls
Description
These Honey Butter Rolls combine melted butter and warmed milk with yeast and honey to create a lightly sweet and soft dough. Salt and an egg add flavor and richness, while all-purpose flour is added gradually to form a sticky dough that clings slightly to the mixer paddle. The dough is divided into 12 rolls, which are given a brief 10-minute resting rise in a warm spot before baking at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Fresh from the oven, rolls are brushed with additional melted butter, reinforcing the honey flavor and giving a tender, shiny finish.
The recipe uses instant yeast for convenience but also notes how to use active dry yeast by allowing the mixture to foam before adding flour. Milk temperature is important to protect the yeast. The rolls are flexible to milk fat content and butter salt content, with adjustments suggested accordingly. The short rise time makes this a relatively fast yeast roll recipe, best risen in a warm place. For additional honey flavor, you can brush extra honey butter on the rolls after baking. These rolls pair well with breakfast or dinner meals requiring soft, slightly sweet bread.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg large
- 3 ½ – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter.
- When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
- Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
- When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
- Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
- Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will still be pretty sticky.
- With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
- Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Notes
- If substituting active dry yeast for instant yeast, let the yeast and honey mixture foam before proceeding to ensure yeast activity.
- Use milk warmed to approximately 100-110°F; too hot can kill yeast, too cool may slow rising.
- Adjust salt if using unsalted butter by increasing it slightly in the dough.
- Keep dough sticky but manageable to avoid dense rolls; add flour gradually to reach desired consistency.
- For a stronger honey flavor, brush additional honey butter on rolls after baking.
- Use a warm spot for the short rise, such as a briefly heated oven turned off, to promote proper dough rising.
