Honey Bread Rolls
These rolls are soft and fluffy with just a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm water, (around 100°F to 105°°F)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp honey, divided
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra if needed
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast over the warm water and leave it for five minutes. Then add 1/4 cup honey, salt and egg and stir until combined.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, knead the dough for about seven minutes or until the dough is elastic. If dough is too sticky to work with, add flour (about 1 tbsp at a time) and knead it into the dough until it is elastic. Be careful not to add too much flour or it will make your rolls very dense.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and a clean dish towel. Leave the dough to rise for about two hours or until it’s doubled in size.
- Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan or a baking sheet. Slightly punch down the dough to deflate it. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Form each part into a ball and place each in the prepared pan or sheet.
- Cover the pan with a dish towel and rest the dough balls for about 20 minutes. While the dough balls rest, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with remaining honey. Brush the honey over the surface of the rolls. Bake the rolls for 10-13 minutes or until tops are light brown and rolls are cooked through.
Notes
- Slightly adapted from recipe found on Pastry Affair
- It is okay if your dough deflates slightly when you divide it and shape it into balls.
