Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt (for dough)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs

Salted Sage Honey Butter

  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped

Topping

  • Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly. Dissolve the yeast with a pinch of sugar in the warm milk and let it activate for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
  2. First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Place it in a warm spot and allow it to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size and becomes airy.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide the dough into even portions (about 12 rolls). Shape each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them spaced apart in a buttered baking dish to allow room for expansion.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls again and let them rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
  5. Prepare Salted Sage Honey Butter: While the rolls rise, soften the salted butter and mix thoroughly with chopped fresh sage and honey until smooth and fragrant.
  6. Bake and Brush: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the tops generously with the prepared salted sage honey butter so it melts into the rolls.
  7. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for texture and added flavor. Serve the rolls warm to enjoy their full buttery, sweet, and herbal aroma.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better yeast activation.
  • Don’t skip the second rise to ensure soft and fluffy rolls.
  • Fresh sage is recommended for the brightest and most vibrant herbal flavor.
  • Brush the butter while warm to help it soak perfectly into the rolls.
  • Avoid overbaking to retain tenderness and moisture in the rolls.
