Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1 cup Whole Milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast one standard packet
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar divided
  • 1 Large Egg room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter melted, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 1/2 cups Bread Flour plus more for kneading

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • pinch Salt

Instructions

Make the Dough

  • Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Add the remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt to the bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Add the bread flour one cup at a time, mixing with the dough hook until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

Shape and Bake

  • Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut into roughly 2x3-inch rectangles, Texas Roadhouse style, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Cover loosely and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
  • Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • Brush the warm rolls generously with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • While the rolls bake, beat the softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt together until light and fluffy.
  • Serve the rolls warm with the cinnamon honey butter alongside for spreading.

Tips

  • Swap bread flour for all-purpose in a pinch — the rolls will be slightly less chewy but still great.
  • Rolls freeze well after baking; thaw and warm in foil at 300°F for 10 minutes.
  • Make the cinnamon honey butter a day ahead and let it soften at room temperature before serving.
