I cut the water back to a cup and a half and only needed six cups of flour. I also used melted butter instead of shortening. I was able to proof the yeast with the warm water in my Kitchen Aid mixer bowl, then throw in the other ingredients. I used my dough hook attachment to mix which made going from mix to knead very simple. Out of one recipe, I got eighteen dinner rolls. Baked at 400*, mine were done at 15 minutes but mine were on the bigger side. Very nice roll recipe.

These rolls had a great flavor, but I found them to be denser than I would have liked. I think I will let them mix longer next time. I made these for Christmas lunch at my aunts house. It was nice to make them that morning and then put them in the fridge until it was time to let them rise. They didn't brown on their own, so I put melted butter on top and put them under the broiler for a couple of minutes til they got brown.

Right behind the oven breaking on a holiday is going to the refrigerator to get out your yeast roll dough and finding it didn't rise! I have made rolls dozens of times so I was really surprised. Bad yeast? It's Christmas morning and I don't have enough yeast to remake the rolls, so it's a new tradition of corn bread! Merry Christmas!

These were pretty good. I like a sweeter, Hawaiian type roll tough so will definitely increase the sugar next time!

The winner in my 'new recipes for Thanksgiving' - I try to add a couple of new things to go with our traditional foods every year, and these were simply wonderful, and so very easy to make. As one other reviewer said, I will add a tad more salt next time, or used butter flavored Crisco. Excellent texture, melt in your mouth good! Also going to try making a loaf of this bread this week, thank you for the recipe!

These were great! My whole family really enjoyed these! I followed the recipe exactly then I brushed with butter before baking.

I have made these MANY times and always wonderful results. Sometimes I add some whole wheat. I mix and store them following the directions from Artisan Bread in Five. One time I baked them in a muffin tin and served them split open with strawberries and cream. They were wonderful, just sweet enough and light enough. Perfect for breakfast. This is truly five star recipe in my home. (ABin5 has you mix everything together in a big container and wait 2hrs. Then refrigerate. Break off a chunk as needed and bring to room temperature. You can bake immediately for a more dense loaf, or wait for the bread to rise again for a lighter loaf. Muffin tins make nice shaped rolls of consistent size. All you have to do is scoop a spoonful into the muffin tin.)
