Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1 tablespoon warm water about 105-115°F
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 cup warm whole milk about 105-115°F
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 ½ cups bread flour

Cinnamon Honey Butter:

  • cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Rolls:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until sugar and yeast dissolve.
  • Add remaining sugar, warm milk, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Add the egg and mix to combine.
  • Incorporate the flour into the yeast mixture, mixing for about 3 minutes at medium-high speed. Scrape the dough into the center of the bowl.
  • Knead the dough on low speed for 3-4 minutes, or until it forms a smooth and elastic ball. The dough is ready when it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
  • Place the dough in a large bowl that is lightly sprayed with cooking spray, cover, and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Gently punch down the risen dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces, and shape each into a smooth ball. Place in the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter.

Cinnamon Honey Butter:

  • In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt
  • Serve the Cinnamon Honey Butter with the warm rolls.
