Ingredients

Scale

Rolls

  • 1 tablespoon water, warmed (about 105-115°F)
  • 6 tablespoons (75 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk, warmed (about 105-115°F)
  • 7 tablespoons (99 g) unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 ½ cups (444.5 g) bread flour

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and the yeast dissolves completely.
  2. Add remaining wet ingredients: Add the remaining 5 tablespoons of sugar, warm milk, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and kosher salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add egg: Incorporate the room temperature egg into the mixture and blend to combine thoroughly.
  4. Add flour and mix: Gradually add the bread flour to the mixture. Beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until fully integrated, scraping the dough off the sides as needed.
  5. Knead dough: Reduce speed to low and knead the dough for an additional 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. First rise: Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, place the dough inside, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  8. Divide dough: Punch down the risen dough gently to deflate it. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces by cutting or halving repeatedly.
  9. Shape rolls: Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Second rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until roughly doubled in size.
  11. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as the rolls finish their second rise.
  12. Bake rolls: Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  13. Brush with butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Serve warm.
  14. Make cinnamon honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  15. Serve: Spread the cinnamon honey butter on the warm rolls for a delicious finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure liquids (water and milk) are warmed to about 105-115°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Make sure the egg is at room temperature to incorporate easily into the dough.
  • Covering the dough during rises helps retain moisture and encourages proper fermentation.
  • For extra softness, brush rolls with melted butter again after cooling slightly if desired.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container; they can be reheated briefly in the oven or microwave.
