Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 quarter cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Remove from heat and let it cool until warm (about 100-110°F).

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, and water together. Slowly stir the milk and melted butter into the egg mixture.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed up and slightly touching.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Optional: Brush the tops of the warm rolls with melted butter for an extra soft finish.

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
