Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk warmed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water for egg wash
  • ½ cup salted butter for the salted maple butter topping
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup for infusing the butter

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the warmed whole milk and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and kosher salt.
  • Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the bowl of dry ingredients along with the eggs and softened butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Grease your skillet generously with extra butter and arrange the rolls in the skillet.
  • Cover the skillet with a towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they puff up.
  • While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Once the rolls have risen, brush the tops with the beaten egg mixed with water for a beautiful glaze.
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, mix the salted butter with maple syrup in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the salted maple butter. Sprinkle with flaky salt for that perfect finish.
