Add Butter & Sage: Gradually incorporate softened butter into your dough by flattening it out first. Add chopped sage leaves now too! Knead until everything is mixed well—you’re building flavor here.

First Rise Time!: Place your dough into a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size—about 1-2 hours depending on temperature.

Shape Your Rolls!: Punch down the risen dough gently to release air bubbles. Divide into equal pieces (about 12). Shape each piece into round balls and place them snugly in a greased baking dish.

The Second Rise!: Cover again and let these beauties rise until puffy—around 30 minutes should do it. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time so it’s hot like you mean business.

Bake & Brush!: Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. As soon as they’re out of the oven, brush them generously with melted butter mixed with honey for that extra touch!
