Glazed Honey Rolls

Glazed honey rolls are an extra decadent way to prepare dinner rolls for a sweet treat or special side dish for family dinner.

My mom sent me this glazed honey rolls recipe from The Frugal Girl, you can see the original recipe here.

When I first saw the pictures from this post, I wanted to make them immediately. Not that I need any more motivation to eat rolls than I already have, but glazed?! I couldn't wait.

I think these would be good with a dinner with vegetables, or even just served as dessert because hey, it's glazed honey for goodness sake.

I didn't have a cooking thermometer handy, so I let it cool for a few minutes after heating on the oven.

Ideal temperature for the yeast is 115-120 degrees Fahrenheit.

The rolls will need to rise twice, the first time for an hour ..

..and then again after separating into balls for an additional 30 minutes.

The glaze can just be heated in the microwave.

And then poured on top of the rolls before baking. I maybe could have used a smaller pan (I used a 9 inch round one for the half in the below picture) because a lot of the glaze ended up on the bottom of the pan.

Though the rolls did rise a little more in the oven.

Mmm fresh out of the oven.
