Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk (1 cup), honey (1/4 cup), and instant dry yeast (1 packet) until yeast and honey are fully dissolved. Whisk in the kosher salt (1 teaspoon), egg, and 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of the melted butter, until everything is well-combined.
- Add the flour to the bowl 1/2 cup at a time, until dough easily comes off the sides of the bowl and forms a sticky ball in the center. Use a wooden spoon to stir. I had to use all three cups of flour, but you may need less or even a bit more.
- Grease the bottom of a 9" round pan (see notes for alternatives) with 1 tablespoon of the butter, generously coating the bottom and sides.
- Form 12 equal-ish balls with the dough and place them in the prepared pan. The dough is quite sticky, so this may be a little frustrating, but I found it helpful to coat my hands in a little melted butter as I worked (or, use olive oil or flour to coat your hands). You can also use a large disher scoop to help get the dough out of the bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. While the oven is preheating, set the prepared rolls on the stovetop toward the back, covered with a towel. The heat of the oven as it preheats will help the rolls to rise quickly. Let them rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown on top and rolls are cooked through completely (if you tap on one in the center, it should sound hollow).
- When they're done, brush with remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Wait for them to cool for 10 minutes so you can handle them, pull apart, and serve.

Notes
- Don't have a 9" round pan? You can also use a 10" cast iron skillet, or a rectangular baking dish in a 4x3 grid. The bigger the baking dish, the further apart the rolls will be, which may mean a shorter cooking time and less "pulling-apart." Keep an eye on them as they bake!
- Common substitutions: Use water instead of milk, and sugar instead of honey.
- If you don't have a stovetop on top of the oven, such as with a built-in oven or something, you can place the rolls in the microwave with the door closed, covered with a towel, with a mugful or two of boiling water next to them, while the oven preheats. The steam from the water will help create enough warmth for the rolls to rise effectively.
