Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 60 ml Honey
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 120 ml Milk (room temperature)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 15 grams Butter (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and honey, stirring until the honey dissolves. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter, milk, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spaced slightly apart.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
If desired, brush the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for extra richness.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
