INGREDIENTS:

2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (1 envelope)

1/4 cup warm water

1 cup milk, warmed to body temp

1 stick of butter, melted and divided in two

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg, beaten

3 cups flour

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl mix together yeast, water, warm milk, sugar, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and the beaten egg.

Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough is formed.

Remove dough to a greased surface. Knead dough for 5 minutes folding and slapping the dough on top of itself, until a smooth elastic dough is formed and it no longer stick’s to the surface. (Use a bench scraper to help knead dough)

Let dough proof in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and on a floured surface and roll the dough into a ½’ rectangle. Cut 12 rolls out of the dough and evenly spread onto a parchment lined sheet tray. Brush with a little melted butter and cover rolls with damp paper towel. Let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden.

Brush with remaining melted butter and serve with cinnamon honey butter.

Enjoy!
