Update: I made another batch and rolled the rolls after the 1st rise and froze them. Thawed and allowed them to rise at room temperature for 1 hour. Worked great! Brushing the tops with melted butter improved appearance and flavor. -
I’m going elsewhere for ThAnksgiving and want to bring rolls that I can bake at home and reheat. Or at least bring rolled and frozen the day before and just bake Thanksgiving day. Will that work with these? Tx! -
My rolls are heavy and dry. What am I doing wrong?

When I was a young girl and stayed over at my friends house. Her mother worked for our school as a cook. She made these dumplings that were like kolache dough. They were not baked they were put on chicken stew. Is this a recipe you can do this? I have been looking for years for a delicate dumpling instead of a Bisquick lump that tastes pre-starch ball of paste like a lump of hard choking pasty dumpling. -
Can you use the kitchenaid mixer to mix all the ingredients?

These were excellent! I thought the taste was wonderful and they looked beautiful. The dough was so easy to work with and rose just fine for me. I served these as part of my Thanksgiving meal and everyone commented on how light and fluffy these rolls were. Delicious!NOTE: I did knead the dough a bit before refrigerating it, even though the instructions didn't mention kneading. -
These rolls tasted very good when they were finally done, but the problem was that it took a lot longer for them to rise than was posted in the recipe book. We ended up having them for a "post-dinner" addition. I would recommend these rolls to others, but make sure you leave plenty of time for rising! -
I am always happy to try MizzNez's recipes. This is another practical and tasty one! Just a clarification for those of us who cannot buy "packages" of yeast. Rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon of yeast per one cup of flour.

These rolls are truly the EASIEST things anyone will ever bake and they are deeeelicious! This is my first time baking and still they tasted like I've been doing it for years. I'm already thinking of what variations, I can do next time, like adding herb or cheese. :o)<br/><br/>*I did not chill the dough, I just let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours. <br/>*I, also, used instant yeast with the warm water and it did not seem to affect the quality of the rolls.<br/><br/>Thanks you, MizzNezz! -
I made these for Sunday dinner last night. Hubby went nuts for them. So easy and taste heavenly. Thank you Inez.

Oh man these rolls are good and so easy. I just made these for dinner and they rose so well that it turned out to be a big loaf of bread instead of rolls but I was in a rush to get them rolled up and rising so I take the blame on that one. Still they were super yummy. These will now be my go to rolls recipe. -
Came out great. I substituted honey for the sugar and dissolved it with the yeast. Thanx for the post.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
