Golden Honey Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 eggs
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)
– Honey for drizzling
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast over warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it foams up.
2. Add honey, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
3. Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
8. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
9. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough log into 12 equal pieces.
10. Place the rolls on a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
11. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes.
12. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
14. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
15. Drizzle the warm rolls generously with honey before serving.
These Golden Honey Rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are warm, soft, and simply irresistible.
