- baker's note if you're using regular milk highly recommend scolding the milk in the microwave or on the stove, bringing it to boil and cooling it down to 105 to 110° if using milk substitute continue with the recipe as written
- 1/4 cup (54g) butter or vegan butter softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- {after baking when they come out of the oven)
- 2 Tbsp melted butter or vegan butter melted to brush on top of the finished rolls)
Cinnamon Honey Butter:

- 1/4 cup powdered sugar or maple sugar

- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Mixing the Dough
By Hand: Combine all dough ingredients in a large bowl. Use hands to stir and knead for 10–12 minutes until a sticky, traditional bread‑style dough forms.
Stand Mixer: Put ingredients into the mixer bowl with paddle attachment. Mix on low for 2 minutes until dough is very thick and kneads off the bowl cleanly.
First proof:
Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest and hydrate for 45–60 min at room temperature (until doubled). (This could take up to 90 minutes in a colder environmental proofing area should be about 90°
Shaping:
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add a small amount of flour to the parchment.
Shape the dough. On a floured surface, Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1" thickness. Use any sharp object like a knife or pizza cutter to cut dough into squares or use a 3" square biscuit cutter.
Transfer rolls to prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with milk or vegan milk and let rise until doubled in size, about 35 to 45 minutes (this could take up to 90 minutes, depending on where you live in the time of year.90 to 80° proofing area.)
Cover with wet towel. I like to spray heavily with water before baking this help with oven spring in the oven.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 205 210°
Brush hot rolls with melted butter or vegan butter after they come out of the oven.
To make the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
Beat butter or vegan butter with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add remaining ingredients and beat with mixer until well blended.
Serve on warm rolls.
