Directions
- 1Add 1 and 1/4 cups of warm milk (no more than 110 degrees) into a large mixing bowl.
- 2Add 1/3 of a cup of granulated sugar to the milk.
- 3Add 2 and 1/4 teaspoons or one packet of yeast to the mixture.
- 4Give the mixture a quick stir.
- 5Let the mixture sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast gets nice and foamy.
- 6Add half a stick or 1/4 of a cup of melted butter to the mixture.
- 7Add one room temperature egg to the mixture.
- 8Whisk all ingredients together.
- 9Add one teaspoon of salt.
- 10Add 3 and 1/2 cups of bread flour.
- 11Start mixing everything together until a shaggy dough forms.
- 12Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface.
- 13Knead the dough until it comes together in a nice, smooth dough ball.
- 14Spray a clean bowl with oil.
- 15Put the dough into the bowl, top side down, swirl it around, and then flip it over.
- 16Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap lightly and let it rise until it doubles in size, which is probably about an hour.
- 17For the butter, get two sticks of softened, salted butter and place them in a bowl.
- 18Whip the butter until it's nice and fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- 19Add a third of a cup of powdered sugar to the whipped butter.
- 20Add a quarter cup of honey to the mixture.
- 21Add two teaspoons of cinnamon to the mixture.
- 22Whip all ingredients together until all combined.
- 23Once the dough is done rising, take your butter wrappers and grease your baking sheet.
- 24Gently push the dough down in the center.
- 25Take the dough out of the bowl.
- 26Press the dough out into a rectangle that's about a quarter of an inch thick.
- 27Cut the dough into equal small pieces using a pizza cutter.
- 28Place the dough pieces all on the baking sheet, giving them room to rise.
- 29Cover the baking sheets with a towel.
- 30Let these rolls rise for another 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until they get puffy.
- 31Pop the risen rolls into the oven at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.
- 32When the rolls come out of the oven, brush them all with some melted butter.
