First, get a small bowl for the yeast. Pour in the warm water and the sugar. Add the yeast and stir it very gently. Let it sit for about ten minutes. It should look very bubbly and thick. This means the yeast is ready to work.

Get your stand mixer bowl ready now. Pour in the warm milk and melted butter. Add the egg and the salt next. Pour in the bubbly yeast mixture too. Stir them together on a low speed. Everything should look very smooth and yellow.

Slowly add the flour to the wet mix. Do one cup at a time. The dough will start to look sticky. Keep the mixer running on a low speed. The dough should pull away from the bowl. If it is too sticky, add more flour. Do not add too much flour at once.

Use the dough hook on your mixer now. Let it knead for five full minutes. The dough should feel very smooth and soft. It should not stick to your fingers much. If you have no mixer, use your hands. Press and fold the dough on the table.

Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Put the dough ball inside the bowl. Cover it with a warm, damp towel. Place the bowl in a very warm spot. Let it rise for one whole hour. The dough should double in its size. It will look very puffy and light.

Punch the dough down to let air out. Divide the dough into twenty small pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Place them in a greased baking pan. Let them touch each other just a little. Cover them again for thirty more minutes. They will puff up one more time.

Heat your oven to 350 degrees now. Put the pan in the middle rack. Bake them for fifteen to twenty minutes. The tops should look very golden brown. The smell will fill up your whole house. Take them out when they look perfect.

Melt some butter in a small pot. Stir in some sweet honey and salt. Use your brush to coat the hot rolls. Use a lot of honey butter for flavor. Let the butter soak into the warm bread. Serve them while they are still very warm.
