INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons soft butter
- 4 tablespoons honey
Dough:
- 3½ cups/500 grams flour
- 1¼ tablespoon/12 grams dry yeast
- ½ cup/100 grams sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup/120 milliliters milk
- ¼ cup/60 grams water
- 1¼ cups/250 grams soft butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling:

INSTRUCTIONS
Dough:
- Add all the ingredients except for the butter to a stand mixer bowl and knead at a low speed until well combined.
- Add the butter and salt and knead at medium speed for 7-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth.
- Sprinkle some flour in a bowl and transfer the dough into it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
The next day:
- Mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl and pour into a strainer inside a bowl (save the liquid for later).
- Take out the dough from the fridge, sprinkle flour on your working surface and divide the dough into 4 parts.
- Roll each part out with a rolling pin to a thin rectangular layer. Brush it with soft butter or oil, add a layer of the filling on half of the it, drizzle honey and cover with the other half.
- Flatten the filled dough with the rolling pin and roll into a tube-like shape. Cut it into 2" thick pieces and place them in a deep baking pan. Cover it and let rise for about 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 355 F (180 C ) and bake for 30 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden.
- Heat up the liquid you set aside earlier and pour it over the rolls when they come out of the oven.
