Ingredients
Roll Ingredients
•
•
•
•
1 cup milk warm 100 degrees
1 1/8 teaspoon active yeast or 1 package
1/3 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for
kneading
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter melted plus 1/4 cup butter,
melted (optional) (unsalted is best, salted
butter is fine to use)
Honey Cinnamon Butter
• 1/2 cup salted butter softened
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
Roll directions
1. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Allow the yeast to
proof and begin to activate while you prepare the other ingredients. (This is not necessary,
but I prefer this to use milk cold out of the refrigerator).
2. Using a stand mixer or food processor, combine the flour, egg, 1/3 cup melted butter, and
salt. Add the milk mixture and process until you have a smooth dough; it will be stickier
and wetter than regular bread dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn the dough
to grease all sides, and cover with a towel. Let rise until it has doubled in size.
3. When the dough has doubled, punch it down and turn it out on a floured board. Let rest
for 10 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough into a large, flat rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 16
portions with a sharp knife and place on a greased baking sheet and let rise again, until
doubled.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 10 minutes on the greased baking sheet.
They will be light brown when removed from the oven. If desired you can brush the tops of
the rolls with the remaining 1/4 cup melted the butter before serving.
Honey Butter directions
Prepare honey cinnamon butter by combining butter, cinnamon, honey, and powdered sugar
with a mixer until well blended.
