Equipment

9 * 13 inch baking pan or two 8-inch baking pan

Ingredients

For the honey butter dinner rolls

1 cup Whole milk lukewarm
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon Honey divided
1 packet Active dry yeast 2 ¼ tsp
⅓ cup Butter melted and cooled
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Salt
3 ½ cups All purpose flour more if needed

For the top glaze & serving

2 tablespoon Honey
4 tablespoon Butter, melted

Instructions

Activate the yeast

In a large bowl, add lukewarm milk (about 110 degrees F) and 1 tablespoon honey and mix well. Sprinkle yeast.
1 cup Whole milk, ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon Honey, 1 packet Active dry yeast
Cover it and keep it aside for 10 minutes till the yeast is activated.

Make the dough, knead, and let it rise.

Once the yeast has activated, add ¼ cup honey, butter, egg, salt, and flour and mix using a spatula until everything comes together.
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon Honey, ⅓ cup Butter, 1 Egg, 1 teaspoon Salt, 3 ½ cups All purpose flour
Transfer the dough to the working surface. If you feel the dough is sticky, add flour in tablespoon increments and knead for 8 to 10 minutes to form a soft and smooth dough. (To know if the kneading is complete, poke the dough with your finger; it should slowly bounce back).
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Shape the rolls

Grease a 9 * 13 baking pan or two 8-inch round pan or square pan, or line it with parchment paper and keep it aside.
Transfer the risen dough to a working surface and punch it down. Cut it into 15 or 18 equal pieces.
Shape into smooth balls and place them in a prepared pan close to each other but not touching.
Cover using plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Bake honey yeast rolls

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
I applied egg wash just before baking to make it a little shiny. This is totally optional.
Bake it for about 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through if needed.

Make the honey butter topping

In a bowl, stir together honey and melted butter.
2 tablespoon Honey, 4 tablespoon Butter,
Once the rolls are out of the oven, brush them with this honey butter.
Serve the warm rolls with any remaining butter, and enjoy.

Notes

The amount of flour you may need may vary based on the weather conditions and brand of the flour used.
If there are any leftovers after serving, cover them and keep them in the refrigerator for five days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 300 degrees F or in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or until heated through.
The key to soft and fluffy butter rolls is the addition of fat, milk, butter, and egg in the dough. If you skip one of these, the texture will vary accordingly.
Kneading the dough is a key step while making these rolls, as it gives the best soft and fluffy rolls.
