INSTRUCTIONS
SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the milk to about 180 degrees, either on the stove or in the microwave.
Remove milk from heat and add butter.
When the thermometer reads 120, dissolve the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar in the hot milk.
Let stand for 10 minutes; while the yeast begins to bloom, or foam.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast and milk mixture, a pinch of salt and a cup of flour.
Using the paddle attachment, combine all the ingredients plus the egg, and mix until well incorporated.
Add 2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, until well mixed.
Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl and mix in the unmixed ingredients.
Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook.
Add remaining flour, about a half-cup at a time, and mix at low speed until dough forms a ball and separates from mixing bowl.
Continue to mix/knead the dough for 3 minutes, or until dough texture is smooth.
Place the melted butter in a large bowl and brush the inside of the bowl with the butter.
Place the dough on a floured surface and with floured hands, form a ball with the dough.
Place the dough in the butter bowl, and turn the dough over in the bowl to butter it.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth, and place it in a warm place and let the dough rise until it doubles in size, about one hour.
When the dough has doubled in size, turn it over on a floured surface and, using a flour-spreading roller, roll out the dough to half an inch thick.
Fold the dough in half and seal the seams with the rolling pin.
Cut 3 x 3 inches to make the rolls.
Grease a cookie sheet, and place the rolls on the cookie sheet.
Let them rest until they double in size, about 15 to 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned.
Remove from oven to wire rack and let cool.
When the rolls have cooled, brush with melted butter.
BUTTER INSTRUCTIONS
Place the soft butter, cinnamon, honey and powdered sugar in the mixing bowl and beat with the whisk attachment until smooth and fluffy.
Serve the rolls with honey cinnamon butter. Enjoy!
