Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Stand mixer with dough hook attachment (optional)
• Rolling pin
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Plastic wrap
• Pastry brush
• Small bowl (for butter mixture)

Ingredients:

For the Rolls:

• 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
• 2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 7-8 cups all-purpose flour

For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
   • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Mix until well combined.
   • Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
   • Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If kneading by hand, turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.
2. First Rise:
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Rolls:
   • Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick.
   • Cut the dough into 2-inch squares or rectangles.
   • Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. Bake the Rolls:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
5. Prepare the Honey Cinnamon Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Beat until smooth and creamy.
   • Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the warm rolls with a generous dollop of honey cinnamon butter. Enjoy the delightful combination of soft, fluffy rolls with the sweet and spiced butter!
