Ingredients

Rolls
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 envelopes instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1⅓ cup whole milk, warmed
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Egg Wash
  • 1 large egg beaten, for egg wash topping
Honey Butter
  • ¾ cup Butter, softened
  • ¼ cup honey
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer, add flour, yeast, and salt. Mix to combine. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture (a small hollow spot in the middle for the wet ingredients to go).
  2. In a medium bowl, add warm milk, butter, and honey and whisk until butter is melted (milk should be hot enough to melt butter, but not too scalding - should be lukewarm by the time the butter is melted). Add to the well in the dry ingredients. Do not mix yet.
  3. In another bowl, add egg and egg yolks and beat for 1-2 minutes until mixed well. Add this to liquid ingredients in the bowl.
  4. Place the mixing bowl onto the stand mixer, add the dough hook attachment, and mix on medium speed for 5-6 minutes - or until elastic and smooth.
  5. While dough is mixing, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a large metal bowl and rub around the inside of the bowl.
  6. Transfer the dough to the bowl, cover with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
  7. While the dough is rising, butter a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
  8. Punch down and divide the dough into 3 equal circles. Divide each circle into 5 parts to make 15 equal pieces.
  9. Roll each piece into a ball making sure to stretch the dough and pinch it underneath to ensure a smooth top.
  10. Place each ball into the prepared baking dish. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Honey Butter
  1. While rolls are baking, make honey butter by mixing butter and honey in a small bowl until combined.
  2. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops with the honey butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  3. Use remaining honey butter to serve the rolls with.

Notes

  • To use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast:
  • Storing and reheating leftover rolls:
  • Warm the milk to 105-110°F pour ⅓ cup into a separate bowl and sprinkle it with 4¼ teaspoons active dry yeast. Set aside to bloom.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 cup of milk enough to melt the butter and add the honey.
  • Pour the milk from both bowls into the well in the center of the flour mixture and continue with the recipe.
  • Note that the dough may take a bit longer to rise than when using rapid-rise yeast.
  • To prevent them from drying out, cool and store in an airtight container or bag. Keep at room temperature for 1-3 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat- Preheat your oven to 350°F, wrap the rolls in foil, and warm for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. To microwave- Wrap the rolls in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for about 15-20 seconds
