Lightly grease a large bowl; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Lightly whisk together, then let sit for 5-10 minutes, just until the mixture is foamy.
Add the dough hook attachment to the stand mixer. Add the remaining honey, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Mix lightly.
Gradually add the flour, scraping down the sides as needed, and the salt.
Then keep the mixer on to knead the dough for 7-10 minutes, until the dough bounces back slightly when you poke it with a finger.
Add the dough to the prepared greased large bowl. Cover and let sit for 1-2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.
Once the dough has nearly doubled in size, break up into 17 pieces that are 2 ounces each. Roll the dough into round dough balls and arrange in the prepared baking dish.
Cover loosely then allow to sit for 1 more hour, until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Uncover the rolls and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
While rolls are baking, make the topping: in a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter and honey.
After removing the baked rolls from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the rolls with the butter honey topping.

Makes 17 rolls (2-ounces each)
