      Directions

      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

      In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the instant yeast, and warm water. Let it activate for 5 minutes until bubbly. Stir in the honey.

      On low speed, add 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and eggs. Slowly add the flour cup-by-cup until fully incorporated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Add more flour if it is too sticky.

      Portion the dough into 24 even servings. Form the rolls into desired shape and place in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet spaced evenly apart. Set aside and allow to rise approximately 20 minutes, or until doubled in size. Brush the rolls with melted butter.

      Bake for 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter, and sprinkle with a little salt.

      Cook's Note: This recipe can be used as a traditional loaf bread, pizza dough, and for both savory and sweet rolls.

        Amazed that I can make soft pull apart rolls at home thanks to this recipe! I ended up letting these rise for about 40 minutes as I got a late start on the rest of dinner. Also checked the rolls at 20 minutes and in my oven they were fully done. Loved the texture and slight sweetness. These were so easy and have a certain nostalgic look, will definitely make them again.

        Thank you Kelsey for such a wonderful recipe! This recipe is such a time saver! I love that they only need to rise one time, mine usually take longer to rise than what the recipe suggests but still much faster and easier than the recipe I had been using for years. Next time I buy yeast I think I will try the fast rise type and see if that makes a difference. Tonight was my first try at making the cinnamon roll version and they turned out great too, looking forward to making the orange version soon!
