Steps:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water with 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes and allow to foam up. This is called "proofing".
- Beat milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and egg in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of flour.
- Add the yeast mixture.
- Add 1/4 cup of the butter and the salt and mix well.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and beat until smooth.
- Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth about 6-8 minutes or knead in your stand with the dough hook mixer according to manufacturer's instructions - usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl. Grease the top and cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel or tea towel.
- Allow to rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until doubled.
- Punch dough down.
- Spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Roll into 72 equal sized small balls for 24 rolls.
- Dip the balls in the remaining melted butter and place three in each greased muffin cup.
- Cover and let rolls rise in a draft-free place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

CLOVERLEAF ROLLS
A basket of cloverleaf rolls might look humble sitting next to a burnished bird or a crown roast, but don't underestimate its importance at a meal. Buttery and salt-kissed, the little pillows are essential from beginning to end. Start dinner with a warm roll, maybe two, split and swiped with butter. End it with another one or two used to mop up the delicious dregs of gravy. Throw in a few more in the middle because they are just too good not to. Let's hope it is a big basket. Thank goodness the recipe doubles easily. They're at their very best served warm.

Steps:
- Stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar into the milk. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine the remaining sugar, flour and salt. With the mixer on low, add the yeast mixture and the egg and knead until the dry ingredients have been incorporated (you may have to help it along at first with a spatula) and the dough is smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the melted butter (the dough will slosh around in the butter for a few minutes, but will eventually absorb it all) and continue to knead the dough until smooth, increasing the speed to medium, another 5 to 10 minutes. The dough will be shiny and elastic; if it's at all sticky, scrape down the sides of the bowl and gather the dough into a neat ball (no need to add extra flour). Cover the bowl with plastic and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Gently tip the dough out onto a work surface. You shouldn't need flour at this point. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Work with one piece at a time and keep the other pieces covered. Divide each piece into 3 equal pieces, roll each piece into a tight ball and place into one cup. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray lightly with plastic wrap and set aside to double again, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The dough should look puffy and spring back slowly when pressed gently.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Remove the plastic wrap and without deflating the dough, gently brush the rolls with butter. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

HONEY CLOVERLEAF ROLLS
I love these rolls with those special holiday meals. Honey adds a touch of sweetness to these homemade yeast rolls. And topping off the Honey Cloverleaf Rolls is a mixture of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and caraway seeds. ** if you don't like caraway salads, use another, such as poppy or sesame seeds

Steps:
- 1. 1. In a small pan over low heat, warm milk, butter and honey until butter has melted and an instant-read thermometer reads 110ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together whole-wheat flour, 1 cup bread flour, yeast and salt. Stir in milk mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms, adding more bread flour as needed. Dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding additional bread flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking. Cover dough with a cloth and let rise for 15 minutes.
- 2. 2. Mist a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time and keeping others covered with the cloth, divide into 3 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and put into a muffin cup side by side to make 1 cloverleaf roll. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 15 minutes.
- 3. 3. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Brush dough with egg mixture and sprinkle with seeds, if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from pan and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, active dry yeast. This will ensure that your rolls rise properly.
- Proof the yeast in warm water before adding it to the dough. This will help to activate the yeast and make sure that it's working properly.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the rolls light and fluffy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the dough to rise.
- Shape the dough into rolls and place them in a greased baking pan. Let the rolls rise again until they have doubled in size.
- Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
- Serve the rolls warm with butter or honey.
Conclusion:
Honey cloverleaf rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. The honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness that makes them irresistible. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these delicious rolls at home.
