The warm, fluffy rolls are perfect for mopping up soups or gravies, but they’re just as delicious on their own, especially when spread with the creamy, sweet, and spiced butter. Making them at home is easier than you might think, and the result is a batch of melt-in-your-mouth goodness that’s sure to impress family and friends!
Ingredients for the Rolls:
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Ingredients for Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions for the Rolls:
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
- Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into 16 squares or rectangles.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Butter the Rolls: Brush the warm rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
Instructions for Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- Mix the Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Spread the Cinnamon Honey Butter over the warm rolls and enjoy!
