Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water (105-110°F)
- 1 ½ cups milk, scalded
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, divided use
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 6 ½ - 7 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Proof yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until mixture is foamy.
- Scald milk: Heat milk until steaming. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm (about 105°F).
- Add wet ingredients: Add the cooled milk mixture, remaining sugar, honey, eggs and salt. Stir by hand until combined.
- Add flour: Using the dough hook on the mixer, add flour one cup at a time mixing on low. Continue adding flour until you add 6 cups. Add remaining flour gradually until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Knead dough on low speed for 5-7 minutes.
- First Rise: Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Shaping Rolls: After dough has risen, punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a 10x15-inch rectangle that is ¾” thick, roughly the size of a cookie sheet. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough horizontally into 4 equal pieces. Then using a bench scraper, cut each strip of dough into 6 rolls. You should have a total of 24 rolls that are about 2 ½” square. Place rolls on lightly greased baking sheets, cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place rolls in preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the tops of rolls are golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter.
