Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup pure honey
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs

Instructions

In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center; add melted butter, honey, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Stir until combined into a sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour).
Punch down the dough and divide it into about twelve equal pieces; shape each into round buns.
Arrange the buns on a greased baking tray; cover and let rise until puffed (about 30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake buns for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
For the glaze: whisk together melted butter and honey; drizzle over warm buns.
