Honey Buns

Step 1: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast, milk and honey. Swirl with your fingers or a spoon to dissolve the yeast. Allow the yeast to proof (6-8 minutes should do it).

Step 2: Add 6 tablespoons melted butter, eggs and 4 cups of flour, mix on low using dough hook, until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to for the dough to come together (it may take up to 4 1/2 additional cups). Add in the salt, allow to knead for about 7-9 minutes until dough is tacky, but not sticky.

Step 3: Turn onto a floured board; knead a few turns.

Step 4: Place in an oiled bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Step 5: Meanwhile brush 2 cookie sheets with melted butter.

Step 6: Punch dough down and turn out onto a floured board.

Step 7: Roll dough into a rectangle, about 1” tall.

Step 8: Cut into 48 pieces, (6 rows cut into 8 rolls each). Place rolls on buttered cookie sheets about 1-inch apart. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.

Step 9: Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 10: Bake one pan at a time about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately Brush with melted butter.
