DINNER ROLLS
Whip some up for Thanksgiving Dinner or serve them with your every day dinner. We like to roll the dough into two smaller dough balls and place two of them together in a muffin cup. This will give you these rolls that can be pulled into two halves.

Can you use wheat flour. Thank you!
Wilannette- If you use wheat flour, I would only do half wheat and half white. If you all wheat, the rolls can become very dense…in my opinion. Thanks and Enjoy!
Can I use bread flour in place of the all purpose + vital wheat gluten?
Alisha- I have not tried that, but I think it would just fine.
Thank you!
Alisha- Thank you for following along!
Can you freeze them like Rhodes for later?
Kelly- Once they are made, I don’t think they freeze that great. They are definitely better fresh!
For the active dry yeast, do you mix it with warm water to proof it first?
Thank you
Sorry, I am new to this… Will the salt added to the yeast kill the yeast?
Anita- Great question. It won’t kill the yeast.
Anita- I don’t do that, and it seems to work just fine. Great quesiton.
My favorite go-to rolls recipe!! They never disappoint!! They are so soft, we use this recipe all the time!
Kristyn- They are my go-to rolls as well!
I don’t even know why I make other rolls, because these are our favorite! We seem to always come back to this recipe!
Natalie- They are my favorite roll recipe too!
Mrs. Huntley, I’ve tried this receipt four time and they still don’t turn out. I followed directions for the mixture and even had my wife over see the portions I put in, but to no avail. The problems seems to be with the moisture level, the dough seems to be dry. I will try again this coming week. If you have any ideas please advise.
Regards Ri;chard
Richard, you can add more milk if needed. Hope this helps.
After I removed my milk mixture from the microwave, it was in there for only 2 1/2 minutes, I measured the temperature and it read 165 degrees. That is too hot and will kill the yeast. Richard, I suggest you check the temperature of your microwaved mixture? “Water (liquid) that’s too hot can damage or kill yeast. The damage threshold is 100°F for cake yeast, 120°F for active dry, and 130°F for instant. All yeasts die at 138°F.” (Fine Cooking. Com)
Thank you. Great tip.
