In a large bowl, combine warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of fresh milled flour. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add remaining flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.
Knead 6–8 minutes by hand or mixer until elastic and smooth.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 60–90 minutes until doubled.
Divide into 12–15 equal pieces and shape into smooth balls.
Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden.
Brush warm rolls with melted butter and serve.
Notes
* Soft white wheat makes lighter rolls; hard white wheat makes heartier rolls.
* Allow dough to rest 10 minutes before kneading to hydrate the bran for a softer crumb.
* For extra tenderness, replace half the liquid with warm milk.
