Boil 1 cup of milk until almost boiling, then let it cool to room temperature.

Measure 4 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 1 whole egg and 5 tablespoons of melted butter to the flour.

Mix the flour, egg, and butter together.

Once the milk is at the right temperature (between 105 and 110 degrees), add 1/4 cup of honey and 1 packet of active dry yeast to the milk and mix.

Let the yeast mixture sit for about 5 minutes to activate.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir.

Add a little bit of salt to the mixture.

Knead the dough with a mixer for about 3-4 minutes, then check if it combines well.

If the dough is not combining well, knead by hand on a counter until it comes together.

Form the dough into a round ball and place it in an oiled bowl, flipping it to coat the top with oil.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 1 hour.

After an hour, punch down the dough and place it on a flat surface.

Roll out the dough to about 1 inch thick using a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into rolls and place them on a cookie sheet.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cover the rolls and let them rest for about 20 minutes.

Bake the rolls in the oven at 350 degrees for about 14 to 16 minutes, watching carefully until they are brown on top and bottom.
