Honey Butter Cloverleaf Rolls – soft, buttery, and sweet pull-apart cloverleaf rolls. Amazing homemade rolls that are perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

– 3/4 cup skim milk, warmed to 110°F (43°C) – ▢2 tablespoons granulated sugar – ▢1 packet instant yeast – ▢1 egg (at room temperature) – ▢1 egg yolk (at room temperature) – ▢3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – ▢2 teaspoons salt – ▢10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces and softened – ▢2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided – ▢1 tablespoon honey

Step 1

– Whisk together the milk, sugar and yeast in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, then whisk in the egg and egg yolk to combine.

Step 2

– In a stand mixer using a dough hook, mix the flour and salt briefly until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the milk mixture in a steady stream and knead until a dough begins to form, about 1 minute.

Step 3

– Increase the speed to medium and add the softened butter, one piece at a time, until incorporated. Continue to knead the dough until it is smooth and comes away from the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can mix and knead by hand if you do not have a stand mixer with a dough hook.)

Step 4

– Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. The dough might appear slightly sticky, but resist adding more flour while you are kneading. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn it so that the ball of dough is evenly coated in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free area until it has doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Punch down the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 36 equal pieces. (The easiest way to do this is by weighing them out on a kitchen scale, but you could also divide the dough into thirds, then roll each one out into an 18-inch rope and then cut each rope into 12 equal pieces). On a clean surface, roll each piece into a smooth ball. Place 3 balls, seam side down, in each muffin cup.

Step 6

The assembled muffin tin can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.)

Step 7

– Cover the muffin tin loosely with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.

Step 8

– Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

– Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls. Bake the rolls until golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter with the honey, and brush on the surface of the rolls. Serve warm.
