Soft 30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls are made from scratch – start to finish – in just half an hour!

30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls

My kids have gotten so used to having fresh rolls with dinner that they’re disappointed if we have a dinner without any. So, I keep working on new recipes to make quick rolls that don’t take all night to make, and I adapted this recipe from my 30 Minute Honey Wheat Roll recipe.

30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls

These 30 Minute Honey Butter Rolls are good. And fast. Which makes them perfect for weeknight and weekends alike. Plus, they take less time to make than frozen rolls take to thaw.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons instant yeast*
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 ½ – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.

  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter.
  3. When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
  4. Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
  5. When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
  6. Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
  7. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.
  8. Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will still be pretty sticky.
  9. With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
  10. Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.*

  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  12. When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  13. If you would prefer to use active dry yeast, substitute an equal amount for the instant yeast. After step 5, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Then, continue with the recipe as written.

Recipe Notes

*There are 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast in a packet. If you are using packets, you will need 3 packets to give you 6 teaspoons (which is the equivalent of 2 tablespoons) of yeast. 

**Since the rising time is so short, it really helps the rolls to rise if they are in a warm spot. If your kitchen isn't warm, simply preheat your cold oven to 350F for exactly 60 seconds. Turn the oven off, and you now have a great spot for your rolls to rise.

      Thank you! Sorry for the confusion! You just need to add enough flour to get the described dough. The reason that there’s a range on the flour is because different factors, like the humidity, can change how much flour you need to add. Hope that helps! =)

    These rolls were absolutely delicious! I made them to go with some homemade chicken soup and it was so good! The honey is what made this! I prefer honey over sugar, and that is what caught my eye when I was looking for a recipe. And the recipe was easy to follow and done quickly! Thank you for this!

    Hey! I am also an avid cook and I bake nearly every day. Also, I make homemade bread, baguettes, galettes, sauces, truffles, lollipops, so many things! My husband calls me his personal chef. I’d concur! I digress; my question is do you have a method for prepping and storing for later usage? (Example, prepare recipe up to a certain step, then stop and package in plastic wrap and maybe an airtight container and freeze or refrigerate?) How would that work for this particular recipe, as I am absolutely dying to give it a whirl?!?!?!

      That’s awesome! I haven’t tested out preparing the recipe to a certain step. However, I think that this recipe might work well prepared through step 9 and then frozen. Since there is yeast die-off when rolls are frozen, the extra yeast in this recipe may work out. Again, I haven’t tried it out, but if I was going to prep them ahead, that’s where I would start. Hope that helps! =)

      I’ve made these twice now up through step 9, then put them in the fridge, took them out an hour before baking to rise from being chilled and both times turned out great! Rave reviews from family and coworkers.

    I made these tonight for our Thanksgiving dinner. They were delicious and not one was left.
    I also made some gluten free for children and just switched out the flour for the Bob Mills Gluten free 1 to 1 flour mix. They turned out great. Thank you so much for this recipe!

    Hi Kate! Oh my Gosh! I gotta tell ya, Sister. This recipe is THE one, the go to KEEPER,period. I finally feel like a real baker, yippee! I’ve never posted a single comment on anything, ever. I’ve never used social media or had an account with any of them in all these years, and I learned computing when we still used floppy disk, ha! I’m so inspired by this recipe though that I just had to let you and your readers know. I think that there are plenty of other people who come and take a peek but just aren’t commenters. I usually read reviews because I feel like sometimes I can find hints and tips in other people’s experiences or mistakes. We all make them, and I did too initially. Although that first batch was “doughy” and dense, they were still soft and pretty delicious anyway. So, I wanted to try again and came back for a second look to see if I could get to the bottom of it. I do believe that I have solved the mystery. I only realized it by reading again the 2 T = Tablespoons, subsequently your clarification of that fact in a reply to a comment, and lastly someone else’s comment that perhaps their yeast was a dud because 2 of the 3 packets that they had used performed the same way. I used 1of 3 packets the first time as well but it was my last packet of instant. All that I had left was a jar of active dry yeast, not a fast acting yeast. I read your tip about just taking the 5-10 minutes to proof it, and simply carry on with the recipe as written. When I began to scoop out the 2 Tablespoons, it dawned on me. The packets are only 2 1/4 teaspoons. It would take nearly 3 packets to meet what the recipe calls for. It’s a simple and easy mistake for a fairly new baker, like myself to make. I sure hope that will encourage others to try it and not discredit your recipe for fear of a “doughy” outcome. It’s that time of year where folks are searching for their Holiday rolls recipe. If they try this one, their search will be over forever. For the record, I’m going to continue using the same recipe with one 2 1/4 teaspoon packet to roll out and twist for soft pretzels, it’s perfect for that. When I want the big fat yeast rolls, 2 Tableapoons it is! Thank you again! Happy Thanksgiving!

      Thank you so much! That is so helpful! I hadn’t thought about that, but that makes sense. I’m going to add a note about the yeast in case other people are having that issue. Thank you again for your super helpful comment, and Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! =)

    These were delicious! I ended up with 16 rolls! I am not experienced with yeast and the last recipe (cake) I attempted using instant dry yeast did not turn out, so I was not expecting much. I used the preheated oven to sit my rolls on top of with a tea towel on top but they still had barely risen after 10 min. So after reading the comments, I let them sit longer with “press and seal” wrap on top, about 15-20 more minutes. The rolls rose a little more and finished rising in the oven. My family loved them too! Thanks for a delicious recipe!?
