Happy Honey Loaf
This is an old-fashioned, made-only-with-love dinner roll. Nothing out of the freezer or worse, out from a can.
The homemade dough is achieved with basic bread ingredients. We’ve added a few extras like melted butter and honey for comfy, homely, hearty and cosy sweet flavour and an extra egg yolk for richness.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 ½ – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4-6 tablespoons Honey Vanilla butter (melted)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan or a 9×13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.
-
In a small saucepan, melt butter.
-
When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
-
Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
- When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
- Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
- Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will still be pretty sticky.
- With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
- Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
