Ingredients

Rolls

  • 2 Cups Warm Water
  • Cup Nonfat Dry Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Yeast
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt
  • ½ Cup Butter softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 5 - 5 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour

Whipped Honey Butter

  • ½ Cup Butter softened
  • ½ Cup Honey
  • ¼ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Place the warm water and powdered milk to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until the milk is dissolved.
  • Add in the yeast, sugar, salt, softened butter, egg and 2 cups of the flour.
  • Mix on low until the ingredients are wet, then turn the mixer up to medium for 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 more cups of flour. Turn the mixer on low until the flour is mixed in, then on medium for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  • If the dough is still sticky, mix in more flour, ½ cup at a time until the dough is soft, but not sticky or stiff. It is not necessary to use all of the flour.
  • Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl and cover it with greased plastic wrap. Allow it to rise until double in size. About 1 hour.
  • When the dough has doubled, remove the plastic wrap and punch down the dough to release the air.
  • Pour out the dough on to a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it into a large rectangle.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into smaller rectangles, about 2 inches x 5 inches.
  • Roll up each roll in and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Cover the rolls lightly with greased plastic wrap and allow them to rise for another 20-30 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until browned on top.
  • Remove them from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.
  • When cooled, cover with foil until ready to serve.
  • Honey Butter: Add the softened butter, honey, and vanilla to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whip until light and fluffy.
