  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 30 rolls

Ingredients

– 2 cups warm water

– ΒΌ cup honey

– 4 teaspoons active dry yeast

– Β½ cup salted butter

– 2 eggs

– 2Β½ teaspoons salt

– 7 cups all-purpose flour

– 3-4 tablespoons melted butter for topping

Instructions

1-First, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it rest for 5 minutes until the yeast turns foamy, which means it’s ready to go. This step kickstarts the magic that makes the rolls rise nicely.

2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the softened butter, eggs, salt, and flour together. Once that’s blended, pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough. You can do this by hand for 7-10 minutes or use an electric mixer for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

3-Then, transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it’s nearly doubled in size. After that, divide the dough into 30 equal balls, about 58-60 g each, and shape them into smooth balls using a cupping “C” hand motion for even results.

4-Place the rolls in a greased 11 x 18 inch baking pan, arranging them in about 6 rows of 5 rolls each. Spray them with baking spray, cover, and let them rise for another hour until doubled. During the last 15-20 minutes, preheat your oven to 375℉.

5-Bake the rolls at 375℉ for 15-16 minutes on the middle or bottom rack until the bottoms are browned. Right after baking, brush the tops with 3-4 tablespoons of melted butter while they’re still hot to keep them soft and give them a shiny finish. For a complete meal, these rolls go great with dishes like a fresh shrimp salad.

Notes

βš–οΈ Use a kitchen scale to measure flour accurately for consistent texture.
🀲 Smoothly shape dough balls by cupping your hand in a “C” and rotating to form tight rounds.
⏰ Avoid overproofing to prevent the rolls from collapsing during baking.
❄️ Freeze shaped dough after the first rise; thaw and allow 4-5 hours rise before baking.
🧴 Store rolls in an airtight container or with fresh bread slices to maintain softness.
πŸ•’ Rolls stay fresh and fluffy for 3-4 days at room temperature.
