Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¾ cup honey
- ½ cup butter one stick
- 9 cups flour all-purpose, amount will vary - see note
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 2 cups water
- 1 egg
For the Filling
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons orange zest
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 18 ounces orange marmalade 1 jar
- ½ cup sugar divided
Instructions
- In a large glass measuring cup (see note), heat milk, 1 stick of butter, and the honey in the microwave until melted and just starting to boil about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 cups of the flour, salt, and yeast.
- Add the cooled milk mixture, water (see note), and the egg to the dry ingredients.
- Stir well, until almost totally combined.
- Add the last cup or two of flour (see note) - the dough should be slightly sticky and difficult to stir.
- In the same bowl, proof the dough until doubled, about an hour.
- While dough is proofing, combine butter, orange zest, and nutmeg until it is a smooth an homogenous mixture.
- After the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a well-floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces.
- Roll out one piece or dough, and spread with half of the orange butter mixture, half of the orange marmalade, and ¼ cup of sugar.
- Gently roll up the dough, like you would for cinnamon rolls. Slice into 20 rolls and place them on a sheet tray to rise.
- Repeat the previous 2 steps with the second piece of dough.
- Proof until the rolls are doubled again, about 45-60 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
- If you want to bake these in advance (like for a holiday) and then heat them up the day you need them, bake them a few minutes shy of being done and then finish them off the day you want to serve them.

Notes
- Heating the milk, butter, and honey until just boiling is called scalding. This can be done in a pan on the stovetop but is also easily done in a large (4-cup) glass measuring cup in the microwave.
- I will often add the 2 cups of water (room temperature) to the milk mixture to help it cool off more quickly.
- The exact amount of flour you will need for this recipe (or any baking recipe) can vary by as much as a cup. This is due to altitude, humidity, and weather. I live in an arid high-desert mountain climate, so often my readers need to add additional flour if they live at a lower elevation with more humidity.
