• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard plus additional as an accompaniment

3. Add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture with 3 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt.
4. Stir the dough until it forms a ball, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead it, incorporating as much of the remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking, for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.

6. Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk.

8. In a small bowl combine well 1/4 cup of the mustard and honey, spread the mixture over the dough, and sprinkle the dough with the Munster.
9. Cover the Munster with the ham and, starting with a long side, roll up the dough tightly, jelly-roll fashion.
10. Trim the ends of the dough, cut the roll crosswise with a sharp knife into 16 equal pieces and transfer the pieces, cut sides up, to 16 well-buttered 1/2-cup muffin tins, pressing them in slightly.
11. Let the buns rise, covered, in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until they are almost double in bulk, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 375F.
12. oven for 30 minutes, or until they are golden.
13. Run a knife around the buns, lifting them out of the tins, and let the buns cool upside down on a rack.

15. Serve the buns warm or at room temperature with the chutney and the additional mustard.
