Directions
- 1
Add the milk to a small sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often. Bring to a simmer, or until small bubbles appear around the edges to scald and remove from heat. Pour the milk into another container to cool for about 10 minutes. **
- 2
Add the water, yeast, and 1 TBS sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer, or large mixing bowl and stir them together. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast. It should be very foamy when used.
- 3
Add the remaining sugar, honey, the warm milk (but not hot!), and 2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. Beat the mixture together for a couple minutes.
- 4
Add in the melted butter, eggs and salt and stir well.
- 5
Add additional flour 1 cup at a time until dough begins to separate from the sides of the bowl, until you've added 7 cups of the flour. Then add in the flour 1 TBS at a time until it is no longer sticky.
- 6
Let the dough rest for a few minutes.
- 7
Knead the dough in the stand mixer bowl with a dough hook, or with your hands on the counter for about 5 minutes. Add additional flour by the tablespoon if the dough gets sticky as it is kneaded.
- 8
Grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Return the dough to bowl and turn it over so it all gets covered in grease. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- 9
Let the dough rise in a warm spot in the kitchen for about 45 minutes until doubled in size (this will depend on how warm your kitchen is)
- 10
Once the dough has doubled, punch it down to release the air bubbles.
- 11
Roll the dough out till it is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- 12
Cut the dough into approximately 2 inch squares with a pizza cutter.
- 13
Place the dough squares onto two lined baking sheets and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
- 14
Let the rolls rise until doubled again, about 1 hour.
- 15
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahreinheit the last few minutes of the rolls rising time.
- 16
Bake the rolls until they are lightly golden brown, about 14-18 minutes. (Rotate the pans if you are baking them both at the same time)
- 17
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately rub the tops of the rolls with butter.
