These buttery bites of bliss get even better with a generous dousing of honey butter and just a touch of flaky sea salt to finish it all off.

Preparation

For the rolls, combine the flour, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the warm milk, honey, egg, and butter and mix with the dough hook on medium speed until the flour is completely incorporated, about 4–5 minutes.

Remove bowl from stand mixer. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 3 hours.

To make the honey butter, combine the butter and honey together in a small bowl, then set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Turn the dough out, punch it down, and divide in half. Roll each half out to a 12-inch square, about ¼ inch thick. Brush each square with honey butter, saving any leftover butter for serving.

Cut each square of dough into 6 strips. Roll each strip into a coil and arrange seam side-down in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, until puffy.

Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with remaining honey butter. Pull rolls apart and serve warm, topped with flaky sea salt.
