I love these rolls so much I had to come up with a way to make them at home. Now, no need to go out to get your fix—these melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls are fluffy, buttery, and totally irresistible. They’re perfect for holidays, special dinners, or just because!

Ingredients

For the Rolls:

1 packet dry active yeast
¼ cup warm water
½ cup milk
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
Pinch of salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the yeast and warm water. Stir once and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Warm the milk and buttermilk in the microwave. Don’t worry if the buttermilk separates—it won’t affect the recipe.
Stir the 2 tablespoons of softened butter into the warm milk mixture until melted.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture, yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a dough hook until smooth.
Add the egg and beat until well incorporated.
Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough pulls cleanly away from the hook.
Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut into 12 rectangles.
Fold the ends of each rectangle under to form rolls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Brush warm rolls with melted butter if desired.
To make the honey cinnamon butter, mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
Serve the rolls warm with the honey cinnamon butter. Enjoy!
