honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

Agave syrup is a lower-glycemic sweetener.

Warm 1 cup of milk in the microwave for about 45 seconds until warm, not hot.

Add 1/4 cup honey and 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast to the warm milk and let it proof for about 10 minutes until foamy.

Add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 4 cups flour to the yeast mixture.

Knead the dough in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 8 minutes until it forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Remove the dough from the mixer and coat it with 2 tablespoons of oil in a bowl to prevent it from drying out.

Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and flour the countertop before rolling it out into a large rectangle.

Fold the rectangle in half and roll it out again, then cut into desired roll sizes using a pizza cutter.

Place the cut rolls on a lined cookie sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake the rolls in the oven until puffed and golden brown, then brush the tops with melted butter after baking.

To make the cinnamon honey butter, mix 1 stick softened butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl until well combined.

Serve the rolls warm with the cinnamon honey butter.
