Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 1/24 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 6 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 whole eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tbsp water
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

For the Sage Honey Butter:

  • 12 sage leaves
  • 6 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
    Add the warm milk, honey, eggs, and butter. Using the dough hook, mix for 4–5 minutes until the flour is fully incorporated. If the dough is sticky, add flour 1/4 cup at a time.
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
  • Make the Sage Honey Butter:
    In a skillet over medium heat, fry the sage leaves with 1 tbsp butter until crispy. Remove and chop the leaves.
    In a small bowl, mix the remaining butter, honey, chopped sage, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Prepare the Rolls:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
    Punch down the dough and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12-inch square, about 1/4 inch thick.
    Brush the squares with the sage honey butter, saving some for later. Cut each square into 6 strips. Roll each strip into a coil and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Let the Rolls Rise:
    Brush the rolls with the beaten egg yolk.
    Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
  • Bake and Finish:
    Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden brown.
    Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining sage honey butter.
    Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve warm.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger sage flavor, feel free to add more sage leaves to the butter.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the honey butter is still warm and gooey.
