Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, mix together the warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.
Once activated, add the eggs, melted butter, sourdough discard, salt, and flour. Mix with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until a dough starts to form. Then, use your hands to knead for 5-8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in, and cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Allow to rise until doubled in size (45-60 minutes).
Once doubled in size, remove the dough from the bowl and place onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Create a roll out of each dough piece by folding the sides to the center, then roll the ball in a circular motion on a counter surface to create tention, until the top is smooth. Repeat with the rest.
Place the dough balls into a 9x13” baking pan or dish that is greased with butter.
Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and allow to proof for 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.
Once proofed, brush with the egg wash.
Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the salted honey butter by mixing together the melted butter and honey in a small bowl.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush with the salted honey butter.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve warm.
