Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon water (warmed, about 105-115°F)
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed, about 105-115°F)
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, divided)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened, ½ stick / 57 g)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and yeast, letting it sit for about 5 minutes (or until sugar and yeast are dissolved). (Note, this will be a thick mixture.)
- Add in the remaining sugar, milk, 6 tablespoons butter, and salt and mix until just combined.
- Add in the egg and mix to combine.
- Add the flour to the yeast mixture, and mix for about 3 minutes at medium-high speed. Scrape the dough into the center of the bowl.
- Knead the dough on low speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough into the bowl.
- Cover the dough 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).
- Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Gently punch down on the risen dough to deflate it. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Round each piece into a smooth ball and place in the prepared baking dish, evenly spaced.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until about doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F when the rolls are nearing the end of their rise time.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Serve warm with the cinnamon honey butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners’ sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Serve with the warm rolls.
Notes
- Make sure the water temperature is accurate for the yeast to activate properly.
- These rolls are best served warm.
