Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3.5 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (110F / 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, room temperature
Liquid and Leavening Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup warm water (110F / 43°C)
- 1 packet (2.25 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Honey Butter Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Awaken the yeast by dissolving it in tepid water, allowing the mixture to bloom and become effervescent for 5-10 minutes.
- Combine warm milk, granulated sweetener, liquefied butter, beaten egg, and salt in a capacious mixing vessel. Integrate the activated yeast mixture thoroughly.
- Systematically fold in flour, incorporating gradually to develop a supple, cohesive dough that maintains minimal adhesiveness.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly dusted surface and massage vigorously for 8-10 minutes until achieving a silky, elastic consistency.
- Nestle the dough in a greased receptacle, drape with a clean cloth, and permit fermentation in a tranquil location until volume doubles, approximately one hour.
- Deflate the risen dough and roll into a uniform sheet approximately half-inch thick. Slice into precise 2-inch geometric shapes using a sharp implement.
- Arrange cut segments on a prepared baking surface, allowing slight separation between rolls. Shield and permit secondary proofing for 30-40 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350°F, positioning rack in central position. Bake until rolls transform into a golden, lustrous hue, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Immediately upon extraction, lavish rolls with melted butter for enhanced sheen and flavor.
- Craft accompanying cinnamon honey butter by whisking softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon until achieving a luxurious, homogeneous spread.
Notes
- Activate yeast with warm (not hot) water to ensure proper fermentation without killing the microorganisms.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help dough rise evenly and develop consistent texture.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating soft and airy rolls with perfect structure.
- Check dough’s readiness by gently pressing with finger – it should spring back slowly, indicating proper development.
- Prevent rolls from drying out by covering with damp kitchen towel during rising stages.
- Customize butter spread by adjusting honey and cinnamon ratios to personal taste preferences.
- Store leftover rolls in airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for longer preservation.
- Gluten-free option: Replace wheat flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for similar texture.
