Mixing the Dough
Heat the milk until it is just lukewarm.
In a large stand mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and yeast, and whisk together.
Add in the remaining ingredients
Knead with the dough hook on low speed for 15 min or until the dough is a smooth cohesive ball of dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel / or proofing bag and set it somewhere warm to rest for 30 minutes.
Honey butter
In a medium bowl, vigorously stir/mix the butter and honey together. Scoop into a serving bowl and set aside
Assembling & Baking
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces by weight.
Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape each piece of dough into a 3" - 4" disk.
Working around the edge of each disk, bring up the sides of the dough into the center of the disk.
This will leave you with one smooth side and one side with all of the folds and edges of the dough.
Place the dough smooth side up on a clean work surface. Then use your hand as a claw around the dough to roll it around until the seam side of the dough is fully sealed and you can barely see any lines left.
Place each ball into the 9" x 13" pan.
They should be arranged so that there are 3 balls across and 5 down the pan.
Cover the pan and place somewhere warm for another 30 min.
After the 30 min have passed, bake the pan of buns on the center rack of the oven for 20-25 min until they reach a deep golden brown.
While they bake, stir together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping.
Immediately after baking, brush with the melted butter and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar.
Serve warm with a side of honey butter.
