Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 eggs large
  • 6 tbsp butter cut into small pieces
  • 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons yeast SAF
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  • Place the milk, honey, eggs, and cut up pieces of butter in the bread machine.
  • Add the flour. Make two small wells in the flour and place the salt in one and the yeast in the other.
  • Set your bread machine for the dough cycle.
  • When the cycle is done, remove the pan from the machine and scoop out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 2-3 inch wide cylinder. Cut each cylinder into 8 equal pieces. Using your fingers, pinch together the tops to form a ball shape (sort of like a drawstring purse.)
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolls on the sheet, so that they are touching. Two rolls of eight or however you want to arrange them.
  • Brush the tops with some of the melted butter and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  • About 20 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 375.
  • When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and take the rolls off the tray and let them cool on a wire rack. You can brush them with some of the extra melted butter if you'd like.

Notes

Yeast - I use SAF Instant Yeast. You could use a yeast specially formulated for the bread machine or regular active dry yeast. It used to be that you had to mix the active dry yeast with water first, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore with the advances in drying yeast.
