Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dinner Rolls:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- For the Honey Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing softened butter, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth.
- Once baked, brush the rolls with honey butter and serve warm.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it after the first rise. Bring it to room temperature before shaping.
- Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
