Honey Sage Brioche Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - Salt (1 teaspoon)
02 - Honey (3 tablespoons)
03 - Eggs (3, at room temperature)
04 - Instant yeast (1 packet or 2¼ teaspoons)
05 - Warm milk (¾ cup)
06 - All-purpose flour (3¾ cups)
07 - Softened salted butter (6 tablespoons)

→ Sage Honey Butter

08 - Salted butter, softened (6 tablespoons)
09 - Fresh sage leaves (12)
10 - Honey (3 tablespoons)

→ Finishing

11 - Flaky sea salt (to sprinkle)
12 - Egg yolk (1, mixed with 1 tablespoon water)

# Instructions:

01 - Toss flour, yeast, and salt in the stand mixer's bowl. Add butter, honey, eggs, and warm milk. Knead using the dough hook for about 4-5 minutes, sprinkling more flour if it feels too sticky. Let it sit to rest for anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and fry sage leaves until crispy. Finely chop them and combine with the leftover butter, sea salt, and honey.
03 - Make each dough half into a 12-inch square. Spread sage butter on the surface, slice into 6 strips per square, and roll up into a coil shape. Arrange the rolls inside a 9x9 pan lined with parchment paper.
04 - Coat the rolls with egg wash. Cover them and let sit for 30 minutes until they look puffed up.
05 - Bake in the oven at 350°F for 22-25 minutes until the tops turn golden. Brush the rolls while they're hot with leftover honey butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.

# Notes:

01 - Great option for a Thanksgiving spread.
02 - Enjoy left over rolls for breakfast the next day.
03 - Room temperature ingredients work best for consistency.
04 - Use any leftover sage butter as a spread.
