Instructions

1. 1

   --- TO MAKE THE DOUGH: ---

2. 2

   Combine yeast and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and slowly pour in warm water while stirring frequently. Allow 10 minutes for the mixture to sit and for the yeast to activate.

3. 3

   Add in the room temperature milk and warm butter to the yeast mixture and whisk until well combined. Add in the egg, whisking to incorporate.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and sea salt and add them to the wet ingredients and mix on low-speed until well combined and everything begins to form into a dough-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Change “Mixer head” to kneading accessory and knead dough for 5-10 minutes on high speed until dough ball becomes smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed together with 2 fingers. NOTE: If dough is still too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until texture is achieved!

6. 6

   Lightly grease a large bowl with a small amount of olive oil and place the dough ball in the bowl, tossing it around until coated. Cover with plastic wrap (or a towel) and let sit for 1 hour, allowing the dough to rise and double in size.

7. 7

   --- SHAPE + RISE AGAIN: ---

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

9. 9

   Pinch parts of the dough and roll each it into a dough ball and line it inside the baking pan side by side, leaving a bit of space in between.

10. 10

    Then place plastic wrap (or a towel) over the baking dish and let the rolls rise again for another 20-30 minutes.

11. 11

    --- BAKE THE ROLLS: ---

12. 12

    Once the rolls have doubled in size (once again) or have gotten significantly larger, brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and then bake them for approximately 30-35 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown.

13. 13

    --- TO MAKE THE GARNISH: ---

14. 14

    In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter and honey, mixing until the butter has melted and everything is combined. Let it bubble for 1 minute or so. Remove from heat.

15. 15

    Remove the rolls from oven and brush the tops with warm honey-butter mixture.

16. 16

    Serve immediately while warm.
