Ingredients
1 packet of dry yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons if you like to buy bulk yeast like I do; I've always just used regular active yeast, but rapid should make it rise faster)
1/4 cup warm water – not hot, should be around 105-115°F or comfortably warm to stick your finger in for several seconds
1 cup milk (I use whole because if I'm going to the trouble to make homemade bread, I want to be sure it tastes the best it possibly can)
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter (You can totally use 4 if you have a half stick to use up)
1 large egg, beaten (I suggest doubling this for cinnamon rolls)
2 Tablespoons honey (sugar can be used instead; again i suggest doubling for cinnamon rolls)
3/4 teaspoon table salt (I usually use kosher or sea salt and use 2 teaspoons)
1 cup + 2 cups all-purpose flour + more for kneading
Oil or non-stick spray
