Recipe Card

Servings: 16 rolls |

Time: 2.5 hours

  • 1 cup warm milk (no hotter than 110° F)

    1 egg at room temperature

    1 tsp salt

    1. In a Pyrex measuring cup, mix together the milk and butter. Warm in the microwave, making sure it does not exceed 110°F (it can kill the yeast and not allow to rise properly).

    2. Add the honey, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.

    4. Add the egg and salt, and mix for another 15 seconds.

    5. Add the rest of the flour. Mix for 5 minutes.

    6. Proofing: Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let proof for 1 hour 30 minutes.

    7. Take the dough out and shape into 1.5 oz rolls, and place these on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

    8. Cover with a towel and let them sit for 30 minutes.

    9. Bake at 350°F (convection mode) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
