Ingredients:
-
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
-
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
-
¼ cup honey
-
3½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 large egg
-
¼ cup melted unsalted butter (plus extra for brushing)
-
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Activate the yeast:
-
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and honey.
-
Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
-
-
Make the dough:
-
Add the egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
-
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Once it becomes too hard to stir, knead the dough by hand (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook) for 5–8 minutes, until soft and elastic.
-
-
First rise:
-
Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or butter.
-
Place the dough inside, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
-
Shape the rolls:
-
Punch down the risen dough.
-
Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ½-inch thick.
-
Cut into squares or rectangles (about 2–3 inches wide).
-
-
Second rise:
-
Place rolls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.
-
Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
-
-
Bake:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake rolls for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
-
Finishing touch:
-
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush generously with melted butter.
