Ingredients
¼ ounce of active-dry yeast (1 package)
¼ cup warm water
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
In a large mixing bowl combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Quickly stir. Allow to sit for 10 minutes until yeast mixture becomes foamy.
In a medium microwave safe mixing bowl, add milk, butter, honey, and salt. Microwave for approximately 1 minute until butter is melted. Let sit for a few minutes to cool.
Add egg and 1 cup flour to yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Once the milk mixture is cool, pour it into the flour/yeast mixture. Stir in 1 additional cup of flour.
Add 1 additional cup of flour to the large mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
Remove dough from mixing bowl and knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes. If dough is too sticky, add additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
Shape dough into a ball.
Place dough in a greased mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place bowl in a warm location for 60 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Once dough as doubled in size, punch the dough to remove air.
Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into 12 equal sized pieces.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove plastic wrap and place pan in heated oven.
Bake for 22 minutes.
Once rolls are done, immediately remove from pan and place on a cooling rack.
