Rolls:
14 grams active dry yeast
1 ¼ cups warm milk (about 42 degrees C)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ cups (58g) butter room temperature
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ½ – 4 cups (450g) all-purpose flour plus more for kneading
3 Tablespoon(42g) butter melted
Honey Butter:
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1.5 Tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
In the mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook, add milk and sugar, sprinkle yeast over it.
Let the yeast set until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Then add ¼ cup butter, egg, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat the mixture on medium speed until batter is smooth.
Gradually add flour until soft ball of dough forms. Dough should be tacky, but not sticky. If too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
Lightly grease large bowl and place dough in ball, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with clean dish towel and set in warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
Punch the dough down dough gently. Lightly flour work surface and turn dough out of bowl. Knead lightly if necessary.
Let set a few minutes while you prepare the baking sheets with a silicone mat or by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll dough out into a rectangle shape around 2.5 cm thick.
Cut the dough into even pieces using a sharp knife so you have 24-30 pieces of dough.
Transfer rolls to prepared baking sheets. Cover with dish towel and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
About 20 minutes prior to rising being done, preheat oven to 175 C.
Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
For a creamy consistency, ensure that your butter is very soft and has been at room temperature for at least an hour. Don't heat it in the microwave to achieve this as it will mess with the consistency of the butter.
Mix all ingredients with an electric mixer until it's creamy and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use and enjoy!
