Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 1/4 cups warm whole milk (105-110°F)

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

For the Filling:

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

For the Glaze:

 

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary


Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let it stand for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  • Attach the dough hook to the stand mixer. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix roughly, then gradually add flour on low speed until a soft dough forms.

  • Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

  • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, and chopped rosemary for the filling, and set it aside.

  • Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the honey rosemary filling evenly over the dough. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles.

  • Fold each piece of dough in half or roll it, enclosing the filling, and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish with the folded side down.

  • Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

  • In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey, and chopped rosemary to make the glaze. Brush the warm rolls with the glaze as soon as they come out of the oven.

 

  • Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.


Notes

  • These rolls are best served warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.

 

  • For extra flavor, feel free to add a pinch of sea salt to the glaze for a sweet and savory contrast.
