Honey adds natural sweetness and flavor.

Add flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer.

Stir with the hook attachment for about 20 seconds.

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.

Add milk, lightly whisked eggs, and warmed honey to the mixer.

Add yeast and stir with the hook attachment again.

Add melted butter and mix for around 5 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

Form the dough into a ball and spray the bowl with non-stick spray.

Cover the dough and let it rise for around 2 hours until doubled in size.

Peel and quarter the pears.

Transfer the dough to a working surface and shape it into a rectangle.

Place a piece of pear on the dough and cut around it to create squares.

Pinch the corners of the dough to seal the pear inside.

Arrange on a silicone mat or parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Separate the egg and use only the yolk, adding around 2 tablespoons of honey to it.

Whisk the egg yolk and honey together for a glaze.

Brush the glaze on the rolls and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake for around 20 minutes, covering them to prevent over-browning.

Once baked, pour more honey on top while still hot.
