Put the water, honey, milk, and butter in a microwave bowl.
Heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Check to see how warm it is.
You want the mixture to be warm enough for the yeast to bloom and not kill it. I end up usually heating it about 1 minute and 30 seconds, but I also add warm water when adding my ingredients.
Once it is heated, add it to a stand mixer and oiur your yeast in. Let it sit while you gather your other ingredients.
Pour 3 cups flour and salt into the water mixture and begin mixing with a dough hook.
Once it has all incorporated, continue to add the flour until it pulls away from the sides, and is not very stick but not stiff. I usually add slightly more than 3.5 cups. Let it knead for about 4 minutes.
Set it in an oiled bowl and cover wioth a towel for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Once you are ready, separate the dough into 15 even pieces and spray a 9 by 13 pan with non stick spray or butter.
Roll your pieces into balls, and place them in the pan, 3 wide, 5 tall.
Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.
Put in the oven, and bake until golden brown on top, about 15-20 minutes. They will double in size.
Brush on some melted butter to the tops of the rolls and let cool for about 10 minutes.
Eat them hot or cold. They are amazing, buttery soft and just the most comforting roll.
