Ingredients

4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast 2 packets
2-1/2 cups warm milk 110° to 115°
1/2 cup good honey
8 tablespoons butter melted (divided)
2 large eggs room temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt
8-9 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

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 bloom. It will start to bubble and become aromatic, about 5 minutes.
Add 6 tablespoons 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 (mine takes the whole 4 1/2 additional cups) add salt. Allow to knead for about 7-9 minutes until dough is tacky, but not sticky.
Turn onto a floured board; knead a few turns. Place in a bowl with 1 tablespoon butter bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile brush 2 cookie sheets with melted butter.
Punch dough down and turn out onto a floured board. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 1” tall. Cut into 48 pieces, (6 rows cut into 8 rolls each). Place rolls on buttered cookie sheets about 1/2 - 1” apart. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Bake both pans together. 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining melted butter.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The dough should be tacky, not sticky. If it is sticky (leaves dough on your fingers when you touch it and pull your fingers away), add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it becomes tacky.

A warm kitchen helps dough to rise. If your kitchen is cold, turn your oven on for a few minutes to a low temperature and warm it to 100-125°F. Then, turn it off and place your oven-safe bowl in the oven. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size. In other words, the dough should not remain on your fingers when you touch it.
