These rolls were really good and very easy to make. Only change I would make would be to use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. I think it would be more consistantly spread throughout the roll. The fresh garlic gave some bites that were very garlicky cause it was difficult to spread evenly.

These rolls are so good!!! I made them with all purpose flour instead of bread flour and they came out great. It took longer for them to rise than the recipe stated. My Italian husband and father-in-law are going to love them:-)

I did this in my bread machine. After taking out the dough was extremely sticky. I ended up adding another cup of flour. They were pretty good.

Increasing the butter to 2 tablespoons makes the resulting buns much more tender and not as dry as some complained of. 1.5 teaspoons isn't enough to make a difference. My dough was quite sticky as reviewers also mentioned, but it's normal to have to adjust the flour a bit ~ I usually add in a tbs at a time until it feels just right, which was necessary in this case. I spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce on the dough instead of softened butter to turn these into pizza buns. 6 cloves of garlic is excessive unless you are a garlic fanatic. I knew my kids would take issue with that amount so to keep it simple I just sprinkled on a little garlic powder instead. These ended up being very tender and flavorful buns. Turning them into pizza pinwheels made them a great (and popular!) snack and lunchbox item for my kids, so I think I'll be making these often.

i just found this recipe tonite and i am going to print this out and make them, but after reading some of the reviews, i am thinking that i am going to use the QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST dough recipe from this website, since the ingredient list for the dough part is so similar. i will report back once i do that.

We thought these rolls were fantastic! The seasonings were great, gave it just enough of an Italian flare but none of the ingredients were overpowering. I am a bad roll cutter, I guess, because we got 15 rolls out of it. These were great and I will definitely make again because they were so easy to do, and I always have these ingredients on hand. Thank you for this wonderful recipe, Patricia!

I made the dough in a bread maker, then finished the recipe as written. The dough was a little sticky, but I was able to work with it. Since I was serving these to company, I cut back on the garlic. If I were to make this recipe again, I think I would add some herbs and powdered garlic to the dough as well.

I'm going against the grain here, but these were not our favorite. I made these exactly as written... The dough was super sticky and hard to work with, the dough didn't rise much during the first or second rise and they did not have much color to them once they were baked. I also felt that the finished roll was a bit on the dry side. They tasted ok, but not enough that I would want to go through the hassle of making them again. Thanks anyway for sharing. :)

These were amazing!! I proofed the yeast before adding the ingredients. Next time I will brush the tops with butter to brown them.

The bread portion was good, it was easy to make, and it looked beautiful, but the garlic flavor was too strong. If I were to make this again (which I probably won't because I have better bread recipes) I would first roast the garlic cloves with the skin on in a pan to mellow the garlic flavor.
