Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¾ cup honey
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, divided
- 9 cups all-purpose flour amount will vary, see note
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 2 cups water
- 1 egg
- butter for brushing on baked rolls, additional
Instructions
- In a large glass measuring cup (see note), heat milk, ½ cup (1 stick) of the 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 (reference video).
- In the same bowl, proof the dough until doubled, about an hour.
- After the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a well-floured surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rectangle and cut it into 10 equal lengths, about 8-10 inches long.
- Tie each end of the lengths into a knot to create the end of the "bone."
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place formed rolls onto baking sheets, leaving enough room between the rolls so they don't touch.
- Proof until doubled again, about 45-60 minutes.
- Bake at 350º for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
- Brush additional butter on the top of the rolls, if desired.

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 if you are lazy like me and hate washing pans.
- I will often add the 2 cups of water (room temperature) to the milk mixture to help it cool off more quickly. Because in addition to being lazy, I am also impatient. :)
- To make this recipe super quick and easy, just use Rhodes dinner rolls! Let them thaw, form them into bones, proof for 30 more minutes, and then bake.
