Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
  • 1 packet Fleischmann’s® Rapid Rise Yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup warm whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Honey Butter

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey


Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, honey, egg, and butter. Use the dough hook to mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add up to 1/4 cup more flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to a few hours.
  2. Prepare the Honey Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and honey, mixing well to create a smooth glaze.
  3. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Lightly flour a work surface. Turn out the dough and punch it down. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch square around 1/4-inch thick. Brush each square generously with honey butter, reserving some for later. Cut each square into 6 strips, roll each strip into a coil, and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Let the Rolls Rise: Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes until puffy. Alternatively, refrigerate overnight for a slower rise.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Bake rolls for 18-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush with remaining honey butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, pull apart, and serve warm.

Notes

  • To Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls through step 4. Skip room temperature rising, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking.
  • To Prepare and Freeze: Assemble rolls through step 5, cover, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge or on counter for a few hours before baking.
  • To Bake and Freeze: Bake rolls fully, cool completely, cover well, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw and warm before serving.
  • To Use Active Dry Yeast: Mix 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast with warm milk and honey, let sit 5-10 minutes until bubbly before adding flour and proceeding as usual.
