Make soft, buttery yeast rolls at home that taste just like the restaurant favorite. This recipe includes instructions for making the classic cinnamon honey butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (105–115 degrees F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the remaining sugar, warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of flour and the salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes, adding small amounts of the remaining flour only if the dough is too sticky. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the risen dough gently. Divide the dough into 18 to 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. Place the dough balls close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover the pan loosely and let the rolls rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until puffy.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  10. Bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  11. While the rolls bake, prepare the butter: In a small bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon together until light and fluffy.
  12. Remove the rolls from the oven. Immediately brush the tops generously with extra melted butter.
  13. Serve the warm rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.

Notes

  • For make ahead freezer rolls: After the second rise, you can freeze the unbaked rolls. Place the pan in the freezer until solid, then transfer the frozen rolls to a freezer bag. To bake, thaw them completely, let them rise one last time, and then bake as directed.
  • If you have a bread machine, you can use the dough cycle to mix and knead the dough for you.
  • These soft fluffy dinner rolls reheat well in the microwave for 10 seconds.
