honey butter rolls

These tried &amp; true honey butter rolls are my favorite dinner rolls to make! They're unbelievably soft, fluffy, and just melt in your mouth.

Honey Butter Rolls

(240 milliliters) whole milk, warmed to about 110°F*

Red Star® Platinum yeast

sugar

(84 grams) honey

egg egg yolk

(60 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 teaspoon salt

(452 grams) bread flour (spoon & leveled)

unsalted

2 Tablespoons (42 grams) honey

Pour warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Or, if you do not own a stand mixer, a regular large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar on top of the milk. Give it a light stir with a spoon and allow to sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should be frothy after 5 minutes. If not, start over with new yeast.

If you do not have a mixer, you can mix by hand in this step

With the stand mixer running on low speed, add the honey, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then add remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Beat on low speed for 1 minute as it all combines. The dough should be thick, yet soft. And only slightly sticky. It should pull away from the sides of the bowl as it mixes. When it does, it is ready to knead. If, however, the dough is too sticky to handle&#8211; add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time. Make sure you do not add too much extra flour; you want a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Form dough into a ball and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 minutes, then place into a greased bowl&#8211; I usually just use olive oil or nonstick spray. Turn the dough over to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm environment to rise until doubled, about 2 hours. For this warm environment, I preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C) then turn the oven off and place the bowl inside the warm-ish oven.

Once doubled in size, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Remove dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down again to release any more air bubbles if needed. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half. Cut each half into 8 equal pieces for a total of 16 pieces that are about 1/4 cup each&#8211; golfball size, give or take. They don&#8217;t need to be perfect! Shape into balls as best you can and arrange in a greased 9&#215;13 baking pan. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size and puffy, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake the rolls for 18-21 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the edges of each roll look cooked. While the rolls bake, mix the topping ingredients together to make a creamy honey butter. Remove the rolls from the oven when they are done and brush or spread a generous amount of honey butter onto each warm roll. Serve with any remaining honey butter.

Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Warm up in a 300°F (149°C) oven for 10 minutes.

HI Sally, I have had great success with this recipe in the past. For my son's bar mitzvah I wanted to make a homemade Challah. Have you ever made this as a braided loaf? Do you think that would work?

Soft 30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls are made from scratch - start to finish - in just 30 minutes!

30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls

butter

milk

instant yeast

honey

salt

all-purpose flour

butter (melted)

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.

In a small saucepan, melt butter.

When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.

Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).

When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.

Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.

Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will still be pretty sticky.

With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.

Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Soft 30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls are made from scratch – start to finish – in just half an hour!

These soft, pillowy dinner rolls are made with bread flour, instant yeast, buttermilk, and honey. They come together, start to finish, in just under an hour, and are slathered in irresistible honey butter!

1-Hour Honey Butter Dinner Rolls

(420 g) bread flour (or all-purpose flour)

butter (unsalted,

packs (4 ½ teaspoons) instant yeast

butter (unsalted, softened)

Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish and set aside.

Add instant yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Use a small whisk to mix the yeast and honey together by hand until the yeast is completely mixed into the honey.

Place the buttermilk and butter into a small microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave until the butter is almost completely melted or the mixture reaches 120°F. Heat the buttermilk and butter in 20-second intervals checking to make sure it does not get too hot.

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the bowl with the yeast and beat on medium speed (5-6 on a stand mixer) until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add the salt and egg and beat until the egg is completely mixed in and no longer visible.

Replace the whisk attachment with the dough hook on the stand mixer and add the flour in three batches, mixing the flour into the dough after each addition. After the last addition, mix until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Continue to knead the dough in the stand mixer with the dough hook for 4-5 minutes until smooth and stretchy. The dough should be sticky to the touch but you should be able to handle it with lightly floured hands without it sticking to your fingers. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. It is fine if the pieces aren&#39;t exactly the same size. There is no need to be exact.

Form each piece into a smooth ball by stretching the top and pulling down the sides of the dough then pinching the bottom together to create smooth tops. Roll the dough balls in between the palms of your hands to a create an evenly round shape and place the rolls into the prepared baking dish about an inch apart.

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap in the baking dish and place them on top of the preheating oven to rise for 15 minutes, or until they have about doubled in size.

Remove the plastic wrap and bake the rolls uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

To make the honey butter, beat 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth and brush on top of the rolls using a pastry brush. Serve rolls warm!

Make these Honey Butter Crescent Rolls the star of your next dinner. With just four simply ingredients and within 15 minutes time you will have an irresistible side that your friends and family will be going back for seconds and thirds!

Honey Butter Crescent Rolls

Pillsbury Original Crescents

salted butter

Preheat oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Unroll dough and roll into triangles. Bake for 12 minutes.

Unroll dough, separate into 8 triangles. Roll up loosely on an I greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Melt together butter, honey, and powdered sugar.

While crescents bake begin making honey butter. In a small sauce pan, melt salted butter. Then add the honey and powdered sugar. Mix well until incorporated (the sauce will instantly become thicker once the powdered sugar is added), remove from the heat and set to the side.

Drizzle the honey butter on top of crescent rolls.

Once crescents are golden brown remove from the oven. Using a spatula, lift underneath the crescents to ensure they didn&#39;t stick. Then, the drizzle honey butter sauce on top and enjoy immediately.

I haven’t tried them yet, but is the powdered sugar a must or optional

These are great! I think that they deserve more hype, I mean 0 ratings!? That doesn’t make since. I will make sure to pin this on Pinterest.

Elevate your next dinner with these divinely soft, fluffy, and lightweight sweet honey butter dinner rolls! They're easy to make, and everyone is bound to enjoy them! Once you try them, you'll make them over and over again! To make honey butter dinner rolls, you will need all-purpose flour, Monk fruit sweetener or sugar (I used Monk fruit), yeast, eggs, warm whole milk, warm water, butter (softened/room temperature), etc. And once you finish baking the rolls, brush the honey butter sauce on them to take the tastiness up a notch! These buttery-sweet rolls are perfect for Sunday dinner, special occasions, and the holidays! 

Honey Butter Dinner Rolls (No Mixer Needed)!

tipping cups of all-purpose flour,

Tablespoons monk fruit or sugar

active dry yeast (about 2 + 1/4 teaspoons)

monk fruit

+ 1/3 cup warm whole milk

water

butter, softened (room temperature)

egg,

Tablespoons honey

Tablespoons butter, softened/room temperature

Tablespoons Monk fruit powdered sugar sugar

Gather and Prep. All recipes are easier to follow when you gather and prep what you need. In this case, proof your yeast in the prep step by adding warm water to a bowl and adding the yeast packet. Add 2 teaspoons &#8211; 1 tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener, stir it together, and let it proof for about 5 minutes.

Make the Dough. After proofing your yeast, add it to a big bowl, then add the warm milk, beaten egg, softened butter, and monk fruit. Use a whisk to combine. The mixture doesn&#8217;t have to be smooth; you can still see small lumps of butter. Then, add the flour and salt, and use your clean hands to combine until it forms a ball! This dough may be slightly sticky.

Rise. Oil a separate big bowl and place your dough in it, covering it with cling film/plastic wrap. Set it in a warm, unbothered area to rise. This should take at least 45 minutes to an hour to double in size.

Make the Honey Butter. While the dough rises, make your honey butter mixture by combining the honey, butter, and icing sugar with a spatula. Once prepared, set aside.

Knead. Once your dough has risen, deflate it with your knuckles. Flour your pastry board and set the dough there; continue kneading with your hands until it is soft and smooth. 

Roll the Dough. Split the dough into two balls, setting one aside. Place one on your pastry board or mat. Then, roll it out with a rolling pin to look like square pizza dough. You can then cut it with your pastry cutter, cutting down the middle in a straight line and then across to form small rectangles. The result will be about 16 rectangles (or more). Grease a big rectangle baking dish (9&#215;13 or bigger or 2 medium baking dishes).

Brush and Rise. Take the honey butter mixture and lightly brush it onto each of those rectangles. Roll each one up and put it on your greased baking dish. Once complete, do this with the other dough ball you set aside. Cover it all with plastic wrap and set in a warm area, allowing the dough to double in size for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Bake and Enjoy. Preheat your oven to 375F. Remove the plastic covering from your dough and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. It should be a bit golden on top. Brush leftover honey butter sauce on top while the dinner rolls are hot! Serve hot or warm alongside your dinner! These rolls are so addictive!!! The photo below shows the rolls before brushing with the butter sauce.

These dinner rolls are so light and fluffy. And, I adore that slight touch of sweet indulgence from the honey butter. I'll be making these dinner rolls on repeat! Thank you so much for sharing, Kechi!

These Salted Honey Butter Cheddar Brioche Rolls are a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors wrapped in a soft, buttery brioche dough. Infused with garlic and onion powder and generously stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese, these rolls are brushed with a honey butter glaze and topped with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs, creating an irresistible treat ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack.

Salted Honey Butter Cheddar Brioche Rolls Recipe

(2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast

garlic powder

onion powder

honey (divided)

salted butter,

eggs,

egg yolk,

cheddar cheese

Flaky sea salt

parsley

Prepare the dough

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add warm milk, 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 whole eggs, and 5 tablespoons of room temperature butter. Attach the dough hook and mix until the flour is fully incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour 1/4 cup at a time. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes up to 1 hour to activate the yeast and develop gluten.

Make honey butter for brushing dough

In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of honey and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt. Set aside for brushing on the dough squares later.

Preheat oven and prepare pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easier removal of rolls after baking.

Shape the rolls

Punch down the risen dough gently to release air. Divide it into two equal halves. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush each square liberally with the prepared honey butter mixture, reserving some for serving. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar over each square. Cut each square into 6 to 8 strips. Roll each strip tightly into a coil shape and arrange them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Second rise

Brush the rolls with the beaten egg yolk wash for a glossy finish. Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled in size.

Bake

Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.

Prepare honey butter topping

While rolls are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons of honey and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until combined. Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped parsley or basil for a fresh herbal note.

Serve

Remove rolls from the oven and brush them generously with the warm honey butter topping. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
