Easy Homemade Honey Butter Rolls

These honey butter rolls are fluffy and soft, perfect for soaking up sauces or enjoying on their own. The recipe takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 rolls.

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
1/4 cup honey
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
Add Flour: Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with softened butter. Serve warm.
