Equipment

Ingredients

3 packets active dry yeast .25 ounce packets, or about 6 3/4 teaspoons jarred yeast
1 ¾ cups warm water
½ cup honey
½ cup unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
3 teaspoons kosher salt divided, plus more for sprinkling
2 large eggs beaten
5 cups all-purpose flour you might need more

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Place warm water into the bowl of a mixer fitted with a mixing paddle.
Add the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbling.
Add in the honey,
Turn the mixer on low.
Pour in 1/2 cup of the butter, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and both eggs.
Begin adding the flour, slowly. After about 4 cups keep an eye on the mixture as you add more dough. You want the dough to be only slightly sticky, forming a ball that does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
Shape the dough into a large log and cut into thirds.
Then cut each third in half, for a total of 6 pieces. Cut each portion in half again, and then one more time. You'll end up with 24 pieces all roughly the same size.
Form dough pieces into small balls.
Lightly butter a 12" cast-iron skillet.
Add dough balls. Let rise for 20 minutes or until they double in size.
Brush tops of dough with melted butter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
