What you'll need

  • Stand mixer — Hands-free creaming and whipping — the most time-saving machine in a baker's kitchen.
  • Kitchen scale — Baking by weight is more accurate than cups — 1 g = 1 g, always.
  • Silicone baking mat — No parchment waste, uniform browning, nothing sticks.

Instructions

  1. Whisk warmed milk and 1 tsp of the honey in a large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine sprouted wheat flour and sea salt.
  3. Create a well in the dry ingredients, then pour in the yeast mixture, remaining honey, egg, and melted grass-fed butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels dry or crumbly, add milk 1 tbsp at a time — sprouted wheat flour absorbs more liquid than white flour.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 equal pieces, and shape into rolls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
  7. Cover the shaped rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and allow them to proof for 30–45 minutes in a warm spot until noticeably puffy before baking.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  9. While the rolls bake, whip the softened butter with the honey and cinnamon. Brush the warm rolls with a little of it and serve the rest alongside — the signature cinnamon honey butter.
