👩🍳 Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the Dough
Stir in sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt. Gradually mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is soft but not sticky.
3. Knead & Rise
Knead dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, or until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Shape the Rolls
Punch down dough and roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares or rectangles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
5. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 12–15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
6. Brush with Butter
Remove from oven and immediately brush tops with melted butter.
7. Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter
Whip together softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth. Serve with warm rolls.
