In a measuring glass combine the 1 cup milk and 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
To the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the 1 egg, 4 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons honey/sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture and whisk with a fork or whisk to combine.
Add in 2 cups of the flour and 1 teaspoon salt stir to combine. Add in the remaining flour and mix with the dough hook for 5 minutes until a soft dough has formed and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, it will still feel slightly sticky to the touch.
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes
Remove from the bowl to a lightly floured surface. Form into 12-14 equal rolls (about 2.4-3 ounces each) by measuring with a kitchen scale or just eyeball the size. Fold the edges of the dough to the center of each piece, then roll into a ball and place into a parchment lined or oiled 12 inch cast iron skillet.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Brush with an egg wash (1 egg and 1 teaspoon water) before baking for a golden top.
Heat the oven to 375 and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Brush with melted butter after baking if desired.
