Ingredients

Rolls
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet, 7 g)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (60 ml), 105-110°F / 40-43°C
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml), warmed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (57 g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour (440-500 g), or all-purpose
  • 2 tbsp butter melted, for brushing
Cinnamon honey butter
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (113 g), very soft
  • 3 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking pan

Method

  1. Stir the yeast and a pinch of the sugar into the warm water. Let it stand 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, remaining sugar, melted butter, egg and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 3 cups of flour and stir until shaggy.

  3. Add the remaining flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from the bowl but is still slightly tacky. Knead 6 to 8 minutes with a dough hook (or 10 minutes by hand) until smooth and springy.

  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Fold in half, roll out again to the same thickness, then cut into 2 inch (5 cm) squares.

  6. Arrange the squares just touching in a greased 9x13 inch pan (and a small pan for extras). Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes until puffy. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes

  • Make ahead: shape the rolls, cover the pan and refrigerate overnight. Let them sit at room temperature about 1 hour before baking.
  • Store rolls in a sealed bag for 2 to 3 days. Reheat wrapped in foil at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • Freeze baked rolls up to 3 months.
  • Honey butter keeps about 2 weeks in the fridge; soften before serving.
  • Nutrition is per roll, without the honey butter.
