Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup whole milk, warm
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

Sage Honey Butter Glaze

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast in it, stirring gently until frothy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and eggs, then slowly add the milk-yeast mixture, blending into a sticky dough. Add the softened butter and knead until smooth and elastic, either by hand or with a mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  2. First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours. This slow fermentation develops flavor and a tender crumb.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Once risen, punch down the dough gently and divide it into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking tray. Allow the rolls to rest and rise again until puffy and nearly doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Make the Sage Honey Butter: While the rolls rise, combine softened unsalted butter with finely chopped fresh sage leaves and honey. Stir together to create a smooth, fragrant butter that will add richness and a burst of flavor to the baked rolls.
  5. Bake and Glaze: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the salted sage honey butter. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and immediately brush more sage honey butter over the warm rolls for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and optimal yeast activity.
  • Don’t skip the second rise to achieve the softest, flakiest texture.
  • Keep butter chilled until use to prevent it from melting too early in the dough.
  • Fresh sage provides the most vibrant flavor compared to dried herbs.
  • Brush the rolls with honey butter while they are warm to lock in moisture and add a shiny crust.
