Beat warm milk, honey, egg, and 1/2 cup of the melted butter with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add yeast mixture and salt; beat until combined. With mixer running, gradually add flour until well combined. Transfer dough to a bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill 8 hours or overnight. Lightly grease 2 (12-cup) muffin pans. Place chilled dough on a lightly floured surface; punch down dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut dough into quarters. Cut each quarter into 4 wedges; roll each wedge into an 8-inch-long rope. Starting at end, roll each rope into a spiral shape, and place in a prepared muffin cup. Cover pans with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm (80°F to 85°F) place, free from drafts, 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush rolls with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter; bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Rate it Print
