Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • tsp active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 tbsp butter unsalted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • cup all purpose flour

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • tsp salt

Instructions

  • Scald the milk: heat milk in a small saucepan until small bubbles form on the edge of the pot. Remove from heat, add butter and honey to let it melt, and allow to cool to 90-100 degrees.
  • Stir sugar into warm water (90-100℉) until it dissolves, pour into a large mixing bowl of stand mixer. Add in the yeast and stir together. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • After the milk mixture has cooled to at least 100℉, add to the yeast mixture, stir to combine. Add in the egg, stir to combine. 
  • Add in 2 cups of flour. Use dough hook attachment of stand mixer to mix dough together.
  • Add an additional 2 cups of flour and the salt. 
  • Knead with dough hook on a stand mixer (or knead by hand) until dough starts to come together, gradually add in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour as needed until dough forms into a ball. Knead for about 6-8 mins on stand mixer with dough hook. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour on a clean work surface and knead with hands until dough is smooth, should not be sticky.
  • Drizzle a small amount of oil (1/2 tsp) into a large mixing bowl, just enough for a light coating. Then place the dough ball into the bowl, give it a spin to coat the dough ball with a small amount of oil.
  • Cover with a clean towel and place in a warm place to let rise for an hour. (My favorite method is to bring a cup of water to a boil inside my microwave, remove the cup of water and place the bowl of dough inside. OR you can preheat oven to 150 degrees, turn it off and place the dough inside with the door closed.)
  • After dough has risen and doubled in size, punch down the dough, then place on a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Fold the dough over twice, then roll out the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick. 
  • Cut the dough into 2 1/2  inch squares. Place on a large baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. (Typically can fit all of the rolls onto a half sheet baking sheet leaving about 1/4 an inch in between the rolls)
  • Cover with towel and let rise again for another 45 mins. Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Bake at 375℉ for 17-19 minutes until lightly golden brown on the top.
  • Brush tops with melted butter.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • In a bowl combine the room temperature butter, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Mix with a hand mixer (this helps whip the butter and completely blend it together) 

Notes

  • Active Dry Yeast: can be subbed for instant yeast if needed. Instant yeast doesn’t need to be activated and can be added directly into the other ingredients to form the dough, it's recommended to use 25% less yeast when using instant instead of active. Which is equal to 1 3/4 teaspoon. There is no need to let the yeast proof with the sugar and water, simply add the yeast to the ingredients skipping step #2.
  • Warm Water: the temperature should be between 90-100℉ to help the yeast activate. 
  • Flour: this recipe is written using all purpose flour. 
  • Freezing & Reheating: Place room temperature rolls on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for a couple hours until frozen, then add to a large freezer bag for storage. Can be frozen for 4-5 months. To thaw remove to room temperature and let thaw for a couple hours, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for approximately 10 minutes until warmed through. 
*Bread rolls are best served warm, split in half with cinnamon butter.
