Honey Butter Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
- 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, plus 2 tablespoons softened for brushing
- 1 large egg
- flaky salt for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk flour, yeast and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the warm milk, honey, melted butter and egg, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm spot 1 hour, until doubled.
- Punch down and divide into 12 equal pieces, rolling each into a smooth ball.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, just touching one another.
- Cover and let rise 30 minutes, until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.

- Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using, and serve warm, pulled apart at the table.
Good to Know
Shape the rolls and do the second rise overnight in the fridge, covered; let them sit at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
