- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk with sugar and sprinkling the yeast over it. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

- Punch down the dough and shape into golf ball-sized balls. Arrange on a greased baking sheet close together.
- Cover again and let rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
