Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt butter.

Step 3

When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.

Step 6

Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.

Step 7

Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.

Step 11

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Step 12

When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
