1. 1

   Spread unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch pan

Dough

1. 1

   In a stand-up mixer with hook attachment , combine all-purpose flour , instant yeast , and kosher salt . Add additional flour if using home-milled.
2. 2

   In a bowl, melt unsalted butter and pour in the whole milk and honey . The mixture should be less than 120F or it'll kill the yeast.
3. 3

   In a small bowl , add the egg whites and egg yolks and beat until combined.
4. 4

   Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Next, add the egg mixture to the mixture and knead with machine on medium speed for about 6 minutes , until smooth and elastic.
5. 5

   The dough will be sticky but still manageable! If it's super wet, then you can add in an additional tablespoon of flour. Rub a large bowl with about a teaspoon of oil, (I used olive oil), and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise for 35 minutes or doubled in size (these times can vary depending on how warm/cold your home is).
6. 6

   Alternatively, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and allow to rise in the fridge for up to 12 hours (after 12 hours they tend to taste yeasty).

Assembly

1. 1

   Divide the dough into equal pieces . If you want them to be the same exact size, you can weigh them out to 48 grams a piece. If the dough is super duper sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour.
2. 2

   Roll the dough into balls, stretching the dough and pinching it under the ball of dough to make sure it has a smooth top.
3. 3

   Transfer them to the buttered pan and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes OR until they have doubled in size and should be puffy and supple.
4. 4

   * Note: if you let the dough rise in the fridge overnight, you can assemble them straight from the fridge but they may need to rise for a bit longer (since the dough will be quite cold). It may take about 1 ½ hours for them to rise after assembled!
5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F . Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg whites and transfer to the oven to bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes .

Honey Butter

1. 1

   In a small saucepan , melt the unsalted butter and add the honey . Mix together until smooth.
2. 2

   When the buns come out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with the honey butter mixture and sprinkle with flakey sea salt .
