Ingredients

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, 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

Step-by-step Directions

1. Preparing the Yeast Mixture

In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy and bubbly.

2. Mixing Wet Ingredients

Add the remaining sugar, warmed milk, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until just combined.

3. Adding the Egg

Incorporate the room temperature egg and mix until fully combined.

4. Incorporating Flour

Gradually add the bread flour to the mixture and blend for about 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Scrape the dough to the center of the bowl as needed.

5. Kneading the Dough

Knead the dough on low speed for 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

6. First Rise

Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough inside. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

7. Shaping the Rolls

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to deflate. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball, placing them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

8. Second Rise

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until they’ve doubled in size.

9. Baking

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Brush with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.

10. Making Cinnamon Honey Butter

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Mix well until creamy and smooth.

Servings & Preparation Time

This recipe yields 12 large rolls. Preparation time is approximately 20 minutes, with an additional 1-2 hours for dough rising, and 15 minutes baking time.

Tips for Storage & Reheating

• Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 7 days.
• Reheat rolls in a 300°F oven for about 5-10 minutes or until warm. Microwave heating is also possible but may affect texture.
• Cinnamon honey butter should be stored in the refrigerator and brought to room temperature before serving.
