👩🍳 Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Warm the Dairy:
Heat the milk and buttermilk together in the microwave until warm but not hot. Stir in the softened butter.
3. Combine the Base Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk mixture with the activated yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Using a dough hook, beat on high until well mixed.
4. Add the Egg:
Mix in the egg until fully incorporated.
5. Finish the Dough:
Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.
6. First Rise:
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Shape the Rolls:
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness. Cut into 12 rectangles and fold the ends slightly underneath to form roll shapes.
8. Second Rise:
Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and let them rise for 20 minutes.
9. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
10. Make the Honey Cinnamon Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, honey, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
11. Serve:
Brush warm rolls with a little melted butter if desired and serve with the honey cinnamon butter on the side.
🍯 Tip:
Make extra honey butter—it’s amazing on toast, pancakes, or even sweet potatoes!
