Honey offers a natural sweetness with added flavor.

Activate yeast in warm milk until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add eggs, activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Incorporate softened butter gradually until fully absorbed.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or individual rolls.

Place shaped dough in a greased pan and let it rise again until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush the top with egg wash (egg yolk and heavy cream) for a golden finish.

Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
