- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk or buttermilk, warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star instant yeast (1 standard packet)

Instructions
- Brown the butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat until golden brown and nutty.
- Activate the yeast by combining warmed milk or buttermilk with yeast and 1 tablespoon of honey for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, remaining honey, egg, salt, brown butter, chopped sage, and thyme. Mix until blended.
- Slowly add the flour until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, shape into small rolls, and place them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise again for 30 minutes.
