Good taste when you add a full tsp of salt, but everytime I've made this recipe the rolls have come out too dense. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, but I just can't get the texture right with this recipe.

My whole family loved these. I also added a full teaspoon of salt. Oddly enough, I like these better reheated the next day then fresh out of the oven. They're delicious when slathered with butter...

I followed suggestions from other reviews and added a full teaspoon of salt. I also modified it to my likings. Instead of 1 tablespoon of sugar, I added 2 tablespoons of honey. This gives the roll a slight sweet flavor and it's very tasty. This would also be a great base roll recipe to play around with, with various fresh/dry herbs.

Love this recipe!! Have tried many, this beats all. My family just gobbles them up. Uses common ingredients, and is simple. I can even cheat a little and shorten the rising time- still perfect & no yeasty taste. Thanks for sharing!!

Very tasty however it was very heavy. I will use this recipe again however, I will shape into 18 rolls and try adding 1 tsp more of yeast.

These were VERY soft. After reading the other reviews (while the rolls were already rising), I decided that next time I will increase the salt to bring out the flavors. However, I did melt some butter and added garlic salt with parsley to it and brushed it over the rolls before putting them in the oven. This did add some flavor. I will be making these again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!

These were very good and quite simple. I agree they need a little sprucing up as far as flavour goes. I used 3/4 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, which was pretty subtle. I baked them for 15 minutes, but found the tops a little tough for my taste, but inside they were soft and fluffy.

Wow, these are wonderful! 1/4 tsp. of salt didn't sound like enough, so I followed other reviewer's advice and added a full teaspoon. The flavor and texture of these rolls is perfect. I will definitely make these over and over again.

Oh my!!These rolls were sooo easy to work with-great for a first time roll/bread maker!!I too was sceptical about only 1tsp of yeast but they turned out great.As per previous reviews,I too added 1 tsp instead of 1/4.They would also be great with some herbs(basil perhaps) mixed in.I usually make biscuits with dinner but because these were so easy I will deffinately be making these more often.My husband said they were like his mom's.
