Step 1

If using a bread machine, see next section below.

Step 2

Bring the milk to a near boil. Remove it from heat when you see it begin to steam and small bubbles form on the side of the pan. Let it reduce to lukewarm, between 80-90 degrees.

Step 3

Mix the milk, yeast, and honey in a small bowl until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the butter, the milk mixture, the room temperature egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix slowly until smooth. (Use a mixer with a dough hook if you have one, otherwise it works by hand.) Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough has formed.

Step 5

Add salt, and mix/knead for 8 minutes. Then drop the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a few more minutes.

Step 6

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and drop the dough inside. Cover the bowl (plastic wrap or a damp cloth works) and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it’s about ½ inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.

Step 8

Cut into 24 squares of even size and place on 2 lightly greased cookie sheets. Cover them and let them rise for 30-40 minutes,, until doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown.

Step 10

Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush the top of the rolls.

Step 11

Bring the milk to a near boil. Remove it from heat when you see it begin to steam and small bubbles form on the side of the pan. Let it reduce to lukewarm, between 80-90 degrees.

Step 12

Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order listed in the ingredient section of this recipe card. If your manual indicates a different order, follow that.

Step 13

Set the bread machine to the dough cycle, let it do the work from there.

Step 14

Once complete, Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and drop the dough inside. Cover the bowl (plastic wrap or a damp cloth works) and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.

Step 15

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it’s about ½ inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.

Step 16

Cut into 24 squares of even size and place on 2 lightly greased cookie sheets. Cover them and let them rise for 30-40 minutes,, until doubled in size.

Step 17

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown

Step 18

Cooks Illustrated recommends using 25% less yeast if using Instant instead of Active Dry. In this recipe, that equates to 1 + 3/4 teaspoons. Combine the yeast with the flour instead of adding it to the warm milk. Proceed as outlined, no need to let the milk stand for 5 minutes after combining it with the honey.

Step 19

Be sure to scoop your flour out with a spoon and sift it into a measuring cup. Don't dip the cup right into the flour or you'll measure out too much, which will make your rolls dense. Bread flour or all-purpose flour both work well in this recipe. This resource from King Arthur Flour indicates that 1 cup of all-purpose or bread flour weighs 120 grams. So 4 cups = 480 grams, be sure to subtract the measuring cup from the weight.
