In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, add the warm milk, honey, and yeast and mix until the yeast is dissolved. If you are using regular yeast, let the yeast sit for a few minutes to allow it to bloom. You'll know it's ready when the mixture is foamy on top and smells "yeasty."
Next, add the egg and melted butter and whisk to combine. Add the flour and salt and knead until very smooth, about 10 minutes. Start with 3½ cups of flour and only add the last ½ cup if the dough is very sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm place for one hour until doubled in size.
Spray an 8 x 12 or 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the dough into 12 even balls (using a food scale if you want to be exact), and place in the baking dish. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place and let rise for 45 minutes. Alternatively, you can place them in the refrigerator and cover with plastic wrap and bake them the next day.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt the honey and butter for the glaze together and brush over the rolls. Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown. When done baking, brush with more of the glaze and sprinkle with sea salt.
Serve warm. Enjoy!
