Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk about 100-110° F, warm
- 4 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled, salted
- 1 ½ tsp salt sea salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour give or take 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Spray a glass 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Alternately, you can line a metal 9x13 pan with parchment paper, spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. (The parchment paper will help avoid dark, crispy bottoms.)
- In a large bowl, stir warm milk, yeast and honey together until mostly dissolved. Set aside to proof 10 minutes. Once it looks frothy and/or bubbly it is ready. If no bubbles have been made, start again with cooler milk or fresher yeast.
- While the yeast is proofing, measure 2 cups of flour into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the milk and yeast and stir on low using the dough hook. Once the flour has mostly incorporated, stir in melted butter and salt.
- Continue adding in flour, bit by bit, until dough is tacky but won't stick to your hands and the bowl is mostly clean. I used exactly 4 cups, but your dough could take less or more flour. Knead 5 minutes.
- Grease bowl, then cover to rise 1-2 hours in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Once roll dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl, divide into 16 equal pieces and roll into rolls. Place into the prepared 9x13, cover gently with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set aside for the second rise. Once rolls have puffed and almost doubled in size (about 1 hour), preheat oven to 350° F.
- Bake 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush rolls with melted butter and serve warm.
