Instructions

Heat milk to boiling in a small saucepan, then pour it into the bowl of your stand mixer.

Ingredients you will need

Milk

Equipment you will use

Stand Mixer

Sauce Pan

Bowl

Add butter and honey. Stir occasionally to encourage the butter to melt. When the milk has cooled to lukewarm, add yeast and about 1/3 of the flour and stir to combine.

Ingredients you will need

Butter

All Purpose Flour

Honey

Yeast

Milk

Let the mixture sit until it bubbles, just a few minutes.

Add the rest of the flour and the salt and knead with the bread hook until the mixture is smooth an elastic. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet. (I used a quarter-sheet pan because I wanted the buns to touch during baking so the sides would be soft. Use a larger pan and spread the buns out if you don't want them to touch.)

Turn the dough out onto your work surface and divide it into 15 pieces. Form each into a ball and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about an hour. When the buns have risen, bake at 350 degrees until golden, about 25 minutes.

*If you don't have pizza yeast, you can use instant or active dry yeast. In that case, let the dough rise once in the bowl, then punch it down and form the rolls and let them rise a second time before baking.
