Description
Soft dinner rolls glazed with a sweet and spicy honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm milk (105-115F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for glaze)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in the remaining sugar, egg, and 1/4 cup melted butter into the yeast mixture.
- Add flour and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
- Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, leaving a small space between them.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Immediately brush the hot glaze evenly over the warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For a milder heat, reduce the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon.
- You can use instant yeast by mixing it directly with the dry ingredients, omitting the initial proofing step.
- If the dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time during kneading.
