After a recent Instagram post, I received several requests to share the recipe so here you go!

yields 1 dozen rolls

2 1/4 teaspons instant dry yeast

3 TBSP honey

1 cup warm whole milk

¼ stick butter softened

3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

½ stick butter melted

In a small saucepan or microwave, gently warm the milk

In a large mixing bowl, stir in the yeast, honey, and 1 cup flour with the milk mixture. The dough be very wet and soupy at this point

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour and the salt, then stir it all into the wet dough mixture. Continue to stir in remaining flour ½ cup at a time until the dough becomes stiff enough to clear the sides of the bowl. Divide the soft butter in 3 pieces

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter and begin to knead the dough. Add 1 piece of butter and continue kneading until it is incorporated into the dough. Repeat with the 2^nd piece of butter, and again with the last piece. Continue to knead the dough until it is soft and elastic enough to pass the windowpane test. This will take 7-10 minutes by hand, or 6-8 minutes by mixer with a dough hook. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, add the dough and lightly spray until you cover the entire surface. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft free place to rise, about 45 minutes to 1 hour

Preheat oven to 375F

Turn out the dough onto a lightly oiled counter and divide into 2 oz pieces or 12 evenly sized pieces. Shape each piece into your favorite type of dinner roll and place on a parchment lined baking sheet with the smoothest side up. Brush each roll with the melted butter and cover with a piece of oiled plastic wrap. Set aside and allow them to rise 30-45 minutes until almost doubled in size

Remove plastic wrap and brush the rolls with more butter and place them in the preheated oven. Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes or so. Remove from oven and test one of the rolls by gently tapping the bottom. They will have a hollow sound if they are done. Remove rolls from baking sheet and place on a cooling rack. They are best served while still warm
