BUTTER ROLLS DESSERT RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour milk into a glass 2-cup measuring cup and heat in the microwave until it starts to boil and climb the sides, about 1 minute. Add butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt to the scalded milk; set aside to cool until it gets below 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
• Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
• Pour milk mixture into the yeast mixture; add 2 cups bread flour and egg. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is smooth and a little tacky.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of flour-dusted waxed paper and lightly knead to pull dough together; shape into a ball. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into thirds. Break each third into six evenly sized balls and arrange onto prepared baking sheet. Cover balls with a towel to rise further for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Stir together water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Place 1/4 cup of the butter in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH until melted, about 25 seconds.
• Combine melted butter, yeast mixture, milk, eggs, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on medium-low until well combined, about 10 seconds. With mixer running on medium-low, gradually add flour, beating until all flour is incorporated. Continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (Dough will be sticky.) Transfer to a large lightly greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place (80° to 85°) until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours. 
• Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in top and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and lightly coat parchment with cooking spray. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly sprinkle top of dough with flour, and gently pat into a 14- x 8-inch rectangle (about 1/2-inch thick). Cut into 15 (about 2 1/2 -inch) squares; arrange on prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2-inches in between each square. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place (80° to 85°) until increased in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat together honey, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 cup butter with electric mixer on medium-high until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating pans after 10 minutes. Brush hot rolls lightly with honey butter. Serve warm with remaining honey butter.
