Preparation
Step 1
1. [U.S.] Add the cream to a microwave safe dish. Heat for 20 seconds, test temperature and repeat until cream is about 110 F [43 C] degrees. Add the yeast, set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. If the yeast does not foam, it isn't good. Discard it and try again.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the flour, salt and dry milk powder, mix until well combined.
[Germany] In the bowl of a stand mixer add the flour, dry yeast, salt and dry milk powder, mix until well combined.
2. Add the cream and the beer, mix until combined. It will look dry and shaggy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing between additions.
4. Add the honey and butter and allow to mix until the dough forms a smooth and shiny ball that isn't sticky, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Coat the inside of large bowl with oil. Form the dough into a ball and add to prepared bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm room until doubled in size. This will take between 1 and 2 hours depending on the temperature of the room.
6. Punch the dough down, and knead lightly for about 1 minute.
7. Cut the dough in half, then cut each half in half. You will now have 4 equal size pieces. Cut each piece in half to create 8 equal sized pieces. Cut each of those in half to give you 16.
8. Roll each piece of dough into balls, place into a baking dish with a bit of space between each roll (you might need two baking pans to accommodate 16 rolls).
9. Cover and allow to rise until about doubled in size.
10. Heat oven to 400 F [205 C] degrees.
11. Combine the melted butter and honey. Brush the top of the rolls with honey butter mixture, sprinkle with salt.
12. Bake at 400 F [205 C] for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
