Ingredients
For Rolls:
- 3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour more may be needed
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Topping:
- 1 Tablespoon melted butter
- Coarse salt optional
Instructions
- Warm the milk until slightly warm to the touch, not hot.
- Pour the milk into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the flour, honey, sugar, melted butter, and salt.
- Using the dough hook, mix on medium speed for 5–6 minutes until a soft, smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- Line the slow cooker with parchment paper.
- Place the dough balls inside, leaving a little space between each one. Cover with the lid.
- Cook on HIGH for 90 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops are set. Avoid opening the lid too early.
- Carefully remove the rolls from the slow cooker and brush with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired.
- Optional, broil for 1–2 minutes to brown the tops.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Dough should be soft and slightly tacky, not sticky
- Do not overheat the milk, or it can kill the yeast
- Cooking time may vary depending on the slow cooker model
- Rolls will not brown on top unless broiled
- Best served warm for the softest texture
