Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine the bread flour, granulated sugar, fine sea salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Pour in the warm milk and add the softened butter, egg, and egg yolk.
  3. Mix on low speed for two minutes to form a shaggy dough. If too dry, add a splash more milk.
  4. Increase speed to medium-low and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Punch down the risen dough and divide into 24 equal pieces, rolling each into a smooth ball.
  2. Place the rolled balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) about 15 minutes before baking.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
Glazing
  1. While the rolls are baking, melt the butter and honey together with the cinnamon for the glaze.
  2. Brush the warm honey butter glaze over the rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider adding fresh herbs to the dough or using a different sweetener for the glaze. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
