Honey Dinner Rolls

Soft, fluffy dinner rolls with a touch of honey sweetness. Perfect for family dinners and special occasions. Can be made with a bread machine or stand mixer.

Instructions

  1. 1

    **Bread Machine Method:** In a bread machine pan, place the first 8 ingredients in the order listed. Select the dough setting and let the machine complete the cycle.

  2. 2

    **Stand Mixer Method:** Combine all ingredients in the mixer bowl. Using a dough hook, knead on medium-low speed for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

  3. 3

    When the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

  5. 5

    Place the shaped rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 35-40 minutes.

  6. 6

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the beaten egg white.

  7. 7

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

  8. 8

    **Tips for Success:** Ensure milk is at proper temperature (70-80°F), provide a warm, humid, draft-free environment for rising, and be patient with the rising process for best results.
