Ingredients:
- For the Rolls:
- 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar (for yeast activation)
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 7 cups all-purpose flour (adjust as needed)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Additional melted butter for brushing
- For Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
- Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour, 2–3 cups at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise: Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rectangles or squares and place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise again until doubled.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
- Make Cinnamon Honey Butter: Combine softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Serve: Pair the warm rolls with the cinnamon honey butter for an irresistible treat!
