Ingredients
Ingredients
instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon (none)
warm water
1 cup (heated to about 110°F)
honey
1/4 cup (none)
melted salted butter
1/4 cup (melted)
salt
1 teaspoon (none)
large egg
1 (beaten)
all-purpose flour
2 1/2-3 cups (none)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the center of the oven to ensure even baking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant dry yeast, warm water, and honey. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
3
Stir in the melted butter, salt, and beaten egg until well mixed.
4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the bowl and forms a soft ball. It may require up to an additional cup of flour to achieve the desired consistency.
5
Once the dough is formed, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them tightly into a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a greased baking dish.
6
Cover the skillet with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 20 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
7
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. They should sound hollow when tapped.
8
For extra flavor and shine, brush the tops with an additional tablespoon of melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.

Enjoy these rolls while warm and fresh!
