# Ingredients:

→ Rolls

01 - 1 tablespoon warm water (40–46°C)
02 - 75 grams granulated sugar, divided
03 - 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
04 - 245 grams whole milk, warmed (40–46°C)
05 - 99 grams unsalted butter, melted, divided
06 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
07 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
08 - 444.5 grams bread flour

→ Cinnamon Honey Butter

09 - 57 grams unsalted butter, softened
10 - 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
11 - 2 tablespoons honey
12 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine warm water, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until dissolved.
02 - Add remaining sugar, warm milk, 85 grams melted butter (reserve 14 grams), and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until just combined.
03 - Add egg to the bowl and mix until well incorporated.
04 - Add bread flour and mix on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, then scrape sides and knead on low speed for 3–4 minutes until a soft dough forms.
05 - Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Transfer dough into bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or cling film, and allow to rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled.
06 - Gently punch down dough. Divide into 12 equal pieces, round each into smooth balls, and arrange evenly in a lightly greased 23 x 33 cm baking dish.
07 - Cover rolls loosely with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until nearly doubled in volume.
08 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Bake rolls for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
09 - Remove baking dish from oven and brush rolls immediately with the remaining melted butter. Serve warm with cinnamon honey butter.
10 - In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth. Serve alongside warm rolls.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a more supple dough and uniform rising.
