I gave this recipe 4 stars, because with some tweaking, the rolls really did turn out fabulous, but I must say the dough is a pain to work with. I halved the recipe, but still added the 1/3 cup of sugar, plus added about a tsp of cinnamon to make sweetened dinner rolls. It takes probably one extra cup of flour to be able to shape them into rolls. I stopped adding flour when the dough was still a bit tacky to the touch, then floured my hands to get them into balls. I would not recommend this recipe for a beginning bread maker, but they do turn out wonderfully soft if you have the patience to try.

These really had good flavor, but they were too sticky to work with. I tried using more flour to the dough, then the rolls weren't very good. I hope someone can come up with a way to use this recipe where they aren't too sticky to work with as I really liked them.

Turned out very runny, but when used in muffin cups, it was actually quite good.

Recipe was very gooey. Basically had to spoon it into the pan. Barely raised in the oven. They did taste good. But looked more like a biscuit.

Thanksgiving 2004 was going to be the year I made yeast rolls, well it was suppose to be. Some were in this you need to knead the dough,and maybe it would not be so gooey.

I had to add alot of extra flour like everyone else. They rose high in the oven, but they tasted more like a biscuit than a yeast roll. Easy to make.

I'm giving this 4 stars because the rolls were good, but I did have to do some tweaking. As many reviewers mentioned the dough was extremely sticky. I halved the recipe (so it only called for 2 3/4 cups flour) and I still had to add almost a cup and a half of flour to get the dough to a point where it could be shaped. The dough rose and baked beautifully -- the consistency of the finished rolls was darn near perfect. The taste was kind of bland -- I think that next time I will do a slow first rise in the fridge to see if that helps the flavor. I wouldn't recommend it to a yeast bread novice, but for me, this recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing it!

I am just a beginning bread maker and I knew it didn't look right but I followed the recipe and I should have added more flour. Dough was very gooey. I have tried better and easier recipes.

Came out really gooy, so added more flour maybe that was a mistake, but didnt say it was suppose to be gooy, came out not soft but a bit hard outside soft inside. Was good though, made better loafs instead.

This recipe is a great one. A little longer than most but well worth the results. The dough will be gooey but follow directions and you will be rewarded with a big soft dinner roll. I rolled out the dough before baking and spread butter and rosemary, then rolled up and cut.

This is one of the best roll recipes I have ever tried. My little boy calls it "the really good buttery roll" and begs to have them with every meal. The muffin cups make it really easy, but I did roll them out a time or two, using just enough flour to make it workable in my hands, and they turned out fine.

The flour amount is WAY off and I should have followed my intuition and let the rolls rise in the pan before baking like any other bread, they are too small and heavy, dont waste your time on this one, it is a way off recipe.

These rolls are fantastic!! I was nervous because the dough was very sticky, but they were just great. I also used milk instead of the hot water. Mmmmmm. Thanks, Kathy!

I thought these were great! I made "cheese buns" out of them. After I made the dough and punched it down once I cut the dough in half and rolled half in the bottom of a cookie sheet. Then sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese over it and then rolled out the other half and place on top of the cheese layer. After that, I baked them as directed. When they came out I cut them like brownies and serve them with soup. They were a BIG HIT! Try making "cheese buns" with them. They're delicious!!!

I was looking for a recipe that most closely matched the one I grew up enjoying. I had misplaced my copy of the measurements. This on is truely a winner. I replaced; the warm water for warm milk, the cold water for warm water(which I used to proof my yeast). More flour was called for but since I was used to light kneading of the dough, I used the additional flour in the kneadind process. I made this for my Xmas dinner & everyone raved so much about them. I am now about to try to use the recipe to make cinnamon rolls. THANK YOU SO MUCH KATHY FOR SHARING!!

These were great! I halved the recipe and got worried because it came out more of a batter than dough. I made pull apart rolls with it. They were spectacular right out of the oven! And even the day after were very good.
