Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients together. Measure out the flour, warm milk, sugar, yeast, butter, salt, and honey.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Once your yeast is activated, add sugar, salt, and melted butter to the mixture. Stir gently until combined.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing it in little by little until a soft dough begins to form.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead it vigorously for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about an hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.
  • Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces, rolling each into a ball.
  • Grease a baking dish and place the dough balls close together in the dish.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with honey. Brush this mixture generously over the formed rolls.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, brushing a little more honey butter on top right after baking.
