With a simple yeast-based dough and step-by-step instructions, this recipe is approachable for both novice bakers and seasoned pros. Ready in just under 2 hours with minimal effort, this low-sodium bread option is a delicious way to enjoy fresh, homemade rolls without compromising on flavor.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat, add the honey, and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the low-sodium chicken broth and water. Make sure the mixture is warm, around 110°F to 115°F. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the melted butter and honey mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir in the egg until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should begin to come together but still be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If necessary, sprinkle with a little more flour to prevent sticking.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, allowing a bit of space between each ball. Cover with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 20-30 minutes until puffed.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan before serving warm.
