Equipment

Ingredients

2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
1 cup Milk
¾ cup Water Room temperature
4 cups All Purpose Flour
3 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cup Sourdough Discard
4 tablespoon Butter Softened and Cubed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, add the water, milk, and yeast. Let that sit for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes a little foamy.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Turn the stand mixer on medium and let the dough mix for 2-3 minutes. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl when it is ready. Turn the stand mixer off and cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel. Let it rise for 60-90 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Once the dough has doubled in size, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls into the prepared baking dish. Cover the baking dish with the damp towel and let the dough rise for a second time.
The dough balls are ready when they are touching and they look puffy. Look at the pictures in the blog post if you are unsure when you bake the rolls. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

Notes

An optional step is to brush the tops of the rolls with butter as soon as they are out of the oven. This will make the rolls super shiny and even more buttery!
Keep baked rolls in an airtight container on the counter. You can also freeze them in an airtight container or a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
If your kitchen is warmer, it might only take 60 minutes for the rolls to double in size. If your kitchen is colder, it might take up to 2 hours for the rolls to double in size. Just keep an eye on the dough instead of the time.
