Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (105–115 °F)
  • 2 cups milk, scalded then cooled to lukewarm
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 78 cups all-purpose flour (approximately)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered (confectioners’) sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a mixer bowl, whisk together yeast, warm water, and a teaspoon of sugar; let it foam for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add scalded-cooled milk, melted butter, remaining sugar, egg, and salt; mix on low until combined.
  3. Gradually add flour 2–3 cups at a time until a soft, tacky dough forms.
  4. Knead for 7–10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  6. Punch down dough and roll into a 1/2‑inch thick rectangle. Cut into 24–48 squares.
  7. Place on greased baking sheets, cover, and let rise another 45–60 minutes until nearly doubled.
  8. Preheat oven to 350 °F about 20 minutes into the second rise.
  9. Bake rolls for 12–16 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Brush with melted butter when warm.
  11. To make the cinnamon honey butter, beat all butter ingredients until smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

Notes

  • Use bread flour for extra chewiness if preferred.
  • Freeze shaped but unbaked rolls for future use.
  • Refrigerate dough after first rise for overnight prep.
  • Store baked rolls in an airtight container to maintain softness.
