Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup whole milk, warm (about 110°F)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for honey butter)
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (for honey butter, plus more for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until just warm to the touch (about 110°F). If using active dry yeast, sprinkle it over the milk and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, yeast, honey, eggs, melted butter, and sea salt. Add the warm milk. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. Adjust with flour or milk as needed.
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 60-75 minutes, until doubled in size.
  5. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Punch down the dough, divide into 16 equal pieces, and roll each into a ball. Arrange in the pan, spacing evenly.
  6. Cover the pan loosely and let rolls rise for 30-40 minutes, until puffed and touching each other.
  7. Mix softened butter, honey, and flaky sea salt in a small bowl to make honey butter.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush half of the honey butter over the rolls. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown and set. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
  9. Remove rolls from oven. Brush with remaining honey butter and sprinkle with extra flaky salt. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

Prep dough the night before and let rise in the fridge for easy morning baking. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 blend; for dairy-free, swap milk and butter for plant-based alternatives. Brush rolls generously with honey butter before and after baking for best flavor. Use a kitchen scale for flour to avoid dry or dense rolls.
