How to Make Beehive Buns
- Dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt and 3-4 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
- Roll each half into a 12 x 6-inch rectangle.
- Cut each rectangle into 1-inch wide strips lengthwise.
- Curl each strip into a beehive shape, starting with a wider base and narrowing towards the top. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover loosely and let rise for 15 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the buns are baking, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and combined with honey.
- Drizzle the honey-butter mixture over the warm beehive buns.
