Warm the whole milk to 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit, then whisk together with sugar and yeast until foaming bubbles develop on the surface.

Combine the activated yeast mixture with melted butter, beaten egg, salt, and half of the flour, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Mix steadily using a dough hook while gradually incorporating the remaining flour until a soft, shaggy mass forms that pulls away from bowl sides.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for eight to ten minutes by hand or five to six minutes in a stand mixer until smooth, springy, and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough ball inside an oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides, then cover tightly and allow a one hour primary rise in a warm environment.

Punch down the doubled dough gently to release gas, then roll out into a large rectangle with a uniform thickness of one half inch.

Cut the dough sheet symmetrically into sixteen square shapes using a sharp pastry wheel tool, arranging them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cover the squares loosely and allow a secondary rising window of thirty to forty minutes in a warm location until puffy and nearly doubled.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for twelve to fifteen minutes until the surface crust reflects a deep golden brown color and internal temperature reaches 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit.

While rolls bake, whip the softened European butter, raw honey, and ground cinnamon inside a mixer on high speed for three to five minutes until light, fluffy, and pale.

Brush the hot oven fresh roll tops with extra melted butter immediately after removing from oven, then serve warm alongside the whipped cinnamon honey spread.
