I made these rolls this year for Thanksgiving, and boy am I GLAD I did! The first batch I made, I cut in half made on a Tuesday and baked on Saturday. Everyday about 2-5 times during the day I would punch down, turn over in the bowl, and cover with a damp towel. THEY TURNED OUT AWESOME! I must also note I mixed in my Kitchen Aide mixer for about two minutes after adding all the dough. I took the dough out about an hour before baking. After 30-45 minutes of coming to room temperature, I divided and put into a muffin pan. Baked and I have never tasted a better dinner roll. These are so easy! Thank you so much for submitting this recipe!

I made minor modications to this recipe based on previous experience with some bread recipes. I added 1/8 cup of sugar to the warm yeast water during proofing so the yeast would have something to feed on. It rose in the fridge just like bread does when it's left on the counter albeit a little slower. Once I rolled the dough into balls, I left it on the counter to rise for ~3 hours. That's the beauty of yeast breads - you can just leave it and come back to it later. I like my bread to be a little doughy so I baked at 375F for 10 minutes. Be sure to brush the tops with butter to get a nice brown crust - I did mine with butter/cinnamon/sugar. These aren't spectacular as they taste like typical dinner rolls, but they're easier to make than traditional bread recipes.

This recipe was easy to make, even for someone who typically makes bread in the bread machine. I made the dough and put in the fridge overnight, only punching down once after about 4 hours. In the morning, I took it out 2 hours before baking, punched it down and shaped it into balls, brushed melted butter on tops, covered with a sheet of plastic wrap and a towel, and let rise for 2 hours. They puffed up beautifully. They baked very nicely and were pretty light. My guests devoured them. The reason they didn't receive 5 stars is that the taste was maybe just a tad bland. Next time I'll add a little more salt, or use butter-flavored Crisco.

Yummy rolls just as the recipe stands. I made a few substitutions - milk for the water, butter for the shortening and brush them with butter before baking. They melt in your mouth!

This is a recipe that I have found pretty hard to mess up! I alternate this recipe with another wheat dinner roll recipe (that needs to be kneaded :), and this one is perfect for those days that you want fresh yeast rolls, but don't have time to let them rise before baking. When you let them rise in the fridge overnight, just use a lint free, dampened towel that will prevent air from coming in. These turn out perfectly browned when you watch the oven closely. They get brown fast so around 8 minutes, be watching for the perfect shade of golden-brown. Thanks for a great recipe and a staple at our house!!

Well, my dough is mixed and resting in the frige right now, so I don't know what they'll taste like, but I used my Kitchenaid mixer with the paddle first and dough hook second and even though I used all 6 1/2 cups of flour, my dough was soooo sticky! No one else has mentioned sticky dough, so maybe it's just me? Plus, I am a little confused as to where to let the rolls rise after being in the fridge overnight: in the fridge, or on the countertop? I'm going to bet on the countertop, so I'll let everyone know. I'm also used to placing dough in a greased bowl, and there was no mention of that in this recipe, but I did it anyway. Three stars so far for the confusion.*****update: I changed my review to 2 stars because the rising rolls stuck to the non-linty towels that I used to cover them, and when all was said and done, I had bread shaped like rounds of dough. My dough was still sticky when pinching off pieces to place on the cookie sheets for the final rise, and these didn't melt in your mouth or were fluffy----it was bread in texture and taste. I guess that's ok if you wanted to make homemade bread without kneading it.....but I won't be making this recipe again. Not impressed at all.

These turned out pretty well. The 6.5 cups flour turned out to be too much for my dough. I should have stopped at 5.5 cups. It might have been due to the water not being warm enough for the yeast proofing. I didn't realize these would not brown much on top and so the bottoms got a bit darker than I wanted. They were still nice rolls. Will try again. Thanks for sharing, Debbie!

Definately not the best bread I have ever made,and I have been making bread for years. I only tried this one since the dough can be refridgerated overnight. I follwed the recipe to the T even using a brand new container of Fleishmans yeast, and it came out a tad on the dry side, and didn't rise all that well, but it did have a pretty good taste. I think that rising on the countertop is the only real way to make bread by hand without worry that it is going to dry out, which is what happened to me. I think I will give this recipe 1 more shot, and keep the dough outta the fridge.

I made these rolls in my Kitchenaid mixer. Mixed with regular beater and then used the dough hook and mixed on low for about 2 minutes. Very tasty.

Wow! I can't believe I actually made a yeast roll from scratch! I am really impressed with this recipe. Very, very simple. A heavier type yeast roll, I think would taste great with a soup or stew. Wonderful recipe. Would love to make these again.

This is the first bread recipe I tried with success! I used it on Thanksgiving and again a week later. My daughter loved helping assemble the ingredients and punching the dough down and I swear my husband burned his fingers because he couldn't wait until they cooled to eat them. Will use again and again and again

This recipe was awesome. Made them for Thanksgiving, everyone loved them. I liked the idea that you can make the dough the night before. I have passed this on to other family memebers.

These turned out really great! I made the dough Saturday night and it was quick and easy. Then I made half the batch on Sunday afternoon, put the rest of the dough back in the fridge. Monday night we had fresh hot rolls with the remaining half of dough. They tasted great! I made mine into knots by rolling into 8 in. strips and tying into a loose knot. They turned out soft and yummy!

Very good, at least as good as if not better than the store-bought frozen yeast roll dough we usually buy, and easy enough that we won't be buying frozen any more.
