Dissolve yeast in the ½ cup warm water in a small bowl; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and honey. Add the eggs and mix, scraping the sides. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture. Add 4-1/2 cups of flour and the salt, mixing just until combined.
Swap out the paddle attachment to the dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes only, just until no longer tacky, adding a 1-2 tablespoon of flour, if needed.
Cover and let sit in bowl to rise for one hour.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then let rest 3 minutes. Divide into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball and placing in a buttered 13x9-inch baking dish. Let rise, covered for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan and garlic salt. Best if served immediately.
