Oh my goodness!!! These are the best rolls I've ever made! I've never been able to make rolls, until now. My husband and I ate every one BEFORE they made it to the dinner table. I did have to make some adjustments, but they came out wonderful! I had to add a little more flour because the dough was too wet and I used margarine instead of shortening because I was out of shortening. They still came out great! I let them rise about an hour, then rolled them in 2 inch balls in a 9x13 pan instead of a muffin tin. They came out kind of square shaped and I just pulled them apart very easily. I am making them again today, and doubling the recipe!! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe that I will make over and over again!

YUM! These were easy to make. I did worry a little about how the dough was so sticky, but I went ahead with the recipe as-is. They turned out great. It was a little hard getting the dough in the muffin cups, but that was the only problem. Don't let them rise TOO much in the muffin cups as they will rise a good bit in the oven while baking.

This was the first time for me to try the daunting task of cooking with yeast and I couldn't have tried a better recipe! These came out AMAZING! It was even more amazing considering my oven was on the fritz and I had to bake them in the toaster oven. I also put them in a pan and they became awesome tear apart buns. My husband loved these! He ate most of them and then while I was relaxing two days later he says " I think you should make more of those buns". I will definitely add more flour next time (dough was a little too sticky)and I guess I too will have to double the recipe! Thanks!

I hate it when people give less than 5 stars when they didn't FOLLOW THE RECIPE!!! Mine just came out of the oven and they were perfect!! They are airy, spongy, light, and a little sweet! There is no need to add more flour, so don't read other reviews and automatically add tons more flour. I added a little to the spoon as I was putting them into the muffin tins but that's it! If you add a cup or more of flour, of course you're going to have more dense rolls!! Stick to the recipe and you'll get good results!

A really great recipe...I ended up spooning them out on a small, round cake pan (all smushed together with sides touching) and they still came out great! They tasted like the pull-apart yeast rolls that you can find in your grocer's freezer section.

I can't imagine why the raves; the proportions were so off on this recipe that I might as well have rewritten them; the dough was too sticky to work with in even shaping balls to go into the muffin tin; I probably added 3/4 cup flour, which in turn made 12 rolls. I made these rolls again with my own changes and they were much better. I substituted 3 tablespoons honey for the sugar, reduced the water to 2/3 cup; made it with 1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour and 3/4 cups white flour (as per the suggestion of another reviewer); this made the outcome perfect. I would suggest reducing the water to 2/3 cup to make the dough less sticky and easy to work.

I've made a whole lot more complicated roll recipes that didn't taste as good as these easy rolls do. They do need more flour than the recipe calls for but that is easily remedies. They definitely do better in the muffin tin. I had one clean so I made hald a double batch in and the other half in a regular pan. The ones in the pan don't brown evenly, rather like biscuits, but that could be fixed too by brushing them with water to start with. I have honestly never seen rolls rise this fast and not be poor textured. Great recipe.

I loved this recipe. Still, I made a few adjustments. Along with the 2 T. of shortening I added 2 T. butter. I also increased the sugar to 1/2 c. and the flour to 2 1/2 c. Absolutely wonderful! I ate three as soon as they came out.

This recipe couldn't be easier. Hardly any mixing and no kneading. They turned out yummy. I would have liked a bit sweeter, but a little honey on the top does the trick. This recipe makes 8 HUGE rolls. Next time I'll make the whole dozen in the muffin tins for smaller rolls.
