Everyone loved these! I rolled them up like the recipe says, they made good little crescent-like rolls that are probably much healthier than the flaky ones! I should have put the point slightly under the roll for baking, but will next time. The points sort of unrolled and got a little crispy. Great flavor, great texture, even though I froze and thawed them before baking. Baked only 10 minutes and were perfectly golden and soft. I did not use a bread machine. Very tasty, will be making a few loaves today :)

This was a winner for me because it was easy, delicious and a keeper. I made cinnamon rolls with the help of King Arthur's "baker's cinnamon filling" and it is a small wonder that these rolls ever made it out of the kitchen! Had to make second batch. Thank you to all the reviewers for sharing their great tips as I made adjustments using the old fashion method of hands on.

Straight up excellent. Made by hand: mixed warm water & yeast for 10 min, then mixed w/ all oth ingred. Knead 7-10 min by hand, let rise in warmed microwave 45-60 min. Punch down, shape into rolls, place on ungreased baking sheet, cover w/ kitchen towel and let rise again 45-60 min. Bake, 400 degrees for 13 min. I prefer my rolls slightly doughy, and this was right on the money. Tried first w/ honey butter which was wonderful, then tried with some homemade CrockPot apple butter, to which my daughter said "This is like eating angel's wings". Definite keeper.

I've made these rolls twice this week, once as a "practice run" since I've never made rolls before, and they turned out so good, I took them to my folks house for Thanksgiving yesterday. Everyone loved them, and I will use this recipe over and over again! I didn't change a thing, other than making them the old fashioned way since I don't have a bread machine. I was so happy with them, I took a picture which I am uploading. Thanks for this yummy recipe!

This is a keeper. The texture and flavor of these was as if they were bought from the local bakery and it was so easy. I made the dough two days ahead of Thanksgiving for the first time (without a bread machine) and refrigerated it. I let the dough come to about room temperature and then formed balls instead of cutting and rolling it and I eliminated the second part of butter. I then put them in 2 round cake pans and let them rise for about an hour then baked them for the same time and temp the recipe calls for. We absolutely loved them. I cannot believe I finally found a roll recipe I can make from scratch and be proud to serve them to guests. Thanks Donna my search for the perfect roll recipe is over!

I made these for thanksgiving, trusting in all the good reviews...MISTAKE! I followed the directions except for using a regular mixer instead of a bread machine. (I've made good bread before, so I figured it would work.) They looked pretty, but tasted "yeasty" and had a sort of crumbly texture! I was very embarrassed!

This was wonderful. I had done an overnight dough the night before thanksgiving that I had used last year--somehow I messed it up. In the morning I wen tto roll out the dough and it was hard and not dough-like at all. So in a rush for our Thanksgiving dinner I found this recipe and it was AMAZING. Rolled it into cresents and let it rise for about 3 hours and the cresents came out HUGE!! Wonderful :)

This was my first time to make dinner rolls from scratch. I love that this recipe allows for the machine to do the kneading but you can still feel like you "made it." I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and everybody loved them.

I used K Praper's instructions on how to make w/no bread machine. I rarely make bread so I was hesitant when I saw the dough, kneaded the dough and then rolled into ropes to make knots. My bet was I'd have some attractive-looking rocks of cooked dough because the dough seemed tough and heavy and didn't knead into a really smooth dough--I overdid the flour and could have used 1/2 a cup or so less. And I thought the risings, particularlly the first, didn't rise much at all. I also did a terrible job of making even-sized rolls--some ended up twice the size of others. I was so worried I made another recipe (one of the quick recipes) as a back up. Totally unnecessary--these were wonderful. Best when out of the oven of course but fine heated up. Husband just ate one cold out of the leftovers and mentioned how good they were. Used a silpat and kept oven heat lower to 375 (oven bakes hot), done in 20.

These were delicious!!! I never make bread, but decided to give these a shot for Thanksgiving--everyone raved about them. I did not use a bread machine and followed instructions of other reviewers. Will definitely be making these again!

This was my first time making bread of any kind and these turned out pretty well. Make sure you put the dough somewhere warm to rise. I started putting them on the counter and they didn't rise much. Then I put them on the top of the stove when I had the oven going and they began to rise much more quickly.

These were the best! My family devoured them. I wish I would have made a double batch, all 16 were gone before they were cooled. I didn't oll the butter up in them instead I brushed on top before baking.
