Ingredients
- 1 CUPS WATER
- 2 TABLESPOONS MELTED BUTTER
- 1/2 CUP MILK
- 2 TABLESPOONS HONEY
- 1 TABLESPOON ACTIVE-DRY YEAST*
- 3.5 TO 4 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- 1 TEASPOON SALT
- EXTRA MELTED BUTTER, FOR BRUSHING ON TOP
Instructions
- PREP YOUR OVEN AND BAKING DISH. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 400°F. GREASE A 9 X 13-INCH PAN WITH COOKING SPRAY, AND SET ASIDE.
- WARM THE LIQUID INGREDIENTS. IN A MICROWAVE-SAFE BOWL OR MEASURING CUP, STIR TOGETHER THE WATER AND MELTED BUTTER, FOLLOWED BY THE MILK AND HONEY. MICROWAVE THE MIXTURE FOR 1 MINUTE, AND GIVE IT A STIR. CONTINUE MICROWAVING THE MIXTURE IN 15 SECOND INTERVALS, UNTIL IT IS VERY WARM TO THE TOUCH BUT NOT HOT OR BOILING (ANYWHERE BETWEEN 95°F-115°F), AND THE BUTTER IS COMPLETELY MELTED. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER IS IMPORTANT HERE, BECAUSE IF IT’S TOO HOT (120°F OR MORE), IT WILL KILL THE YEAST. IF IT’S TOO COOL, THE YEAST WILL NOT ACTIVATE. JUST THINK — A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE.
- ADD YEAST. POUR THE LIQUID MIXTURE INTO THE LARGE BOWL OF A STAND MIXER. THEN SPRINKLE THE YEAST EVENLY ON TOP, AND GIVE IT A QUICK STIR WITH A FORK TO COMBINE. WAIT FOR FIVE MINUTES, OR UNTIL THE YEAST IS FOAMY.
- ADD DRY INGREDIENTS. THEN ADD IN 3.5 CUPS OF FLOUR (NOT ALL OF THE FLOUR!) AND THE SALT.
- MIX. USING THE DOUGH-HOOK, MIX ON MEDIUM-LOW SPEED UNTIL THE DRY INGREDIENTS ARE COMBINED. IF THE DOUGH IS STICKING TO THE SIDES OF THE BOWL, ADD IN 1/4 CUP MORE FLOUR AT A TIME UNTIL THE DOUGH PULLS AWAY FROM THE SIDES OF THE BOWL AND IS ONLY SLIGHTLY STICKY TO THE TOUCH. (ONLY USE UP TO 4 CUPS OF FLOUR TOTAL.) CONTINUE MIXING ON LOW SPEED FOR 4-5 MINUTES. THEN FORM THE DOUGH INTO A BALL WITH YOUR HANDS AND TRANSFER IT TO A GREASED BOWL.
- LET THE DOUGH RISE. COVER THE BOWL WITH A DAMP TOWEL OR PAPER TOWEL, AND LET IT RISE BRIEFLY FOR 15 MINUTES.
- FORM THE ROLLS. GENTLY PUNCH THE DOUGH DOWN AND DIVIDE INTO 15 EQUAL-SIZED PIECES. FORM EACH PIECE INTO A BALL AND PLACE THE DOUGH BALLS IN A GREASED 9×13-INCH BAKING DISH. COVER THE DISH AGAIN WITH A DAMP TOWEL OR PAPER TOWEL, AND LET THE DOUGH BALLS RISE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 15-20 MINUTES.
- BAKE. BAKE FOR 15 MINUTES, OR UNTIL THE ROLLS ARE LIGHTLY GOLDEN BROWN ON TOP AND COOKED THROUGH.
- BRUSH WITH MORE BUTTER. REMOVE THE BAKING DISH FROM THE OVEN, AND BRUSH THE TOPS OF THE ROLLS WITH BUTTER. (YUM.)
- SERVE WARM. AND ENJOY!
