Holy cow! Those rolls are amazing. I made these as a test run for Thanksgiving and I’m so glad I found this recipe. I’m totally going to win Thanksgiving with these rolls.

I just made those rolls with your recipe and they turned out amazing. Your recipe measurements are right on.

That's funny! My local supermarket carries those roles and my daughter called them booby rolls 25 years ago when she was 3 years old and we buy them every year for Thanksgiving to keep the Booby Roll tradition alive.

Yes, Nancy! I don't have a mixer and always make them by hand. You have a better sense of the dough that way too.

Oh Yes! These turned out wonderfully - made them this evening and they are soft, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth irresistible! I skipped the honey-butter glaze and they were still awesome. A definite keeper!

If making a day ahead of time, do you suggest cutting the rolls and tying them and then refrigerating them or would you freeze them??

Definitely refrigerate if it's the day before. I would tie them though right before you pop them in the oven instead of when you refrigerate.

Okay thanks! So should I cut the pieces up but wait to tie them? or leave the dough whole and cut them before I bake? (I am an avid dessert baker wanting to take a stab at making breads and rolls, etc.)

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. This might be the kind of question to bring to the main hotline since it's a general inquiry! Our editorial team will be on call starting tomorrow! https://food52.com/hotline Sorry I can't be more help Jaclyn but I don't want to steer you wrong this time of year :)

With some help from my chef brother, I made the dough, and immediately put it in the fridge to slow the rising process so it worked perfectly the next day! These rolls were CRAZY delicious! No one believed that I made them from scratch!

I was going to make some Hawaiian Rolls for dinner this week but what man could pass up a chance to make a batch of Booby Roll instead.

These look a little like my maternal grandmother's zwiebach, a traditional Mennonite bread.

"A simple knot tie" doesn't answer Christine's question. Not a square knot, surely, and it looks more like a coil than a knot. A technique picture would have helped.

Sorry we don't have a technique picture, pneely! They're definitely not a sailors square knot and are more a simple overhand knot with a solid base (see here for more: http://www.howwhywhere.com/Tie-an-Overhand-Knot/). They're meant to be fun so whatever they turn out looking like I know they will taste delicious :)

Hannah, these look adorable but I need to know how you actually make it look like a boob!

It's a simple knot tie—just make sure that one of the ends pops out significantly so when you bake them it stays visible!
