butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

coconut flakes

🥗Healthier: toasted oats

💰Cheaper: shredded coconut

Toasted oats add a nutty flavor and are often less expensive.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar can be more affordable.

Add 4 1/2 cups of bread flour to a stand mixer.

Add 1 envelope of Rapid rise yeast, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt to the mixer.

Pour in 1 cup of warm milk, 2 large eggs, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Attach the dough hook and mix on low to incorporate all the ingredients.

Increase speed to high and mix for about 8 to 10 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.

Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with a towel.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

Transfer the dough to a workstation and cut it into two pieces.

Roll each piece into a log and cut each log into six equal pieces.

Flatten out each piece of dough and pull the edges toward the center to form a ball.

Pinch the ends well to seal and turn it over to finish rounding it out on the counter.

Place the dough balls into a greased 9x13 baking pan, seam side down, and cover with a towel.

Allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Remove the towel and place the rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Optionally, brush the tops with honey butter before serving.
