Steps:

• In the bowl of your mixing stand, add yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm water. Mix together until combined and then let stand until frothy (about 10 minutes - this will let the yeast dissolve).
• While the yeast dissolves, spray the inside of a mixing bowl with non-stick cooking spray or put a little bit of vegetable or olive oil on a paper towel and wipe the inside of the bowl with it. Set this bowl aside (you will use it later for the bread to rise).
• In the bowl of the mixer, add the scalded milk, melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, honey, eggs, and salt. Using the dough hook on your mixer, mix together for about 1 minute. Start to add the flour to the mixing bowl, 1 cup at a time and mixing in-between adding cups of flour (depending on where you live, the humidity/weather that day, and temperature in your kitchen, the amount of flour that you use will vary - some days it's 6 cups, sometimes it's about 8). Continue to add flour until the dough doesn't stick to the side of the bowl when it is mixing. Let it knead in the mixer with the dough hook for 4-5 minutes.
• Place the dough in the prepared oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel (sometimes I will even make the towel a little damp because I live in a dry place without much humidity). Let the dough rise in a warm place until it's double in size (this first rise can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours - if you live in a cold place or keep the inside temperature of your home on the cooler side, it might take longer for your yeast to rise. A little tip if it's cooler inside your house: try turning your oven on for about 2 minutes on preheat (with the oven light on!) and then turning it off completely. Then put the rolls in to rise- you can use that little boost of heat to speed up the rising process.
• Spray two baking sheets (cookie sheets) with non-stick cooking spray.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface.
• Divide the dough into 2 sections, then roll the dough out into a rectangle shape that is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough into 15-16 pieces (I usually do squares or rectangles - you can cut your shapes with a knife or even a pizza cutter to get those crisp edges). Repeat with the other half of the dough, which will give you 30-32 rolls total.
• Place rolls on the baking sheets sprayed with non-stick spray, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them double in size (this should take 30 minutes to an hour).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake rolls for 12-18 minutes or until golden brown.
• Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
• We highly recommend serving these with our cinnamon honey butter recipe or raspberry honey butter!
