This is a great, basic roll recipe. I like that it uses all purpose flour because I can never seem to remember to buy bread flour. It's also nice to not need one more item to take up space in my already small home. I don't use a bread machine when I make this. I set the eggs out for a couple hours to warm. Then I place the warm water, warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Dissolve the sugar and then add the yeast and let it proof. Then I add the eggs, butter, salt and flour. Mix well with my hands and put it in a greased bowl, turning once to coat, then cover with towel and let it rise. After one hour (or after it doubles) I punch it down and roll into three small balls per muffin slot and make cloverleaf rolls. I let them rise another hour and then bake. Yummy and they go really fast around here so I bake a double batch which gives me approx. 48 cloverleaf rolls.

Although, I do not have a bread machine any longer, I decided to make these rolls using the traditional method. I proofed the yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water with 1 tsp sugar. Heated the milk, added the sugar, butter, salt,removed from heat, and stirred till disolved. Then added the beaten egg once the milk mixture was slightly warm. In a large mixing bowl I combined the yeast, milk mixture and added the flour gradually. Kneaded for about 8 to 10 minutes and let rise for 1 hour in a tea towel covered bowl. Punched down and formed balls for clover leaf rolls. Let rolls rise again for 1 hour. Baked at 375 for 15 minutes and brushed with melted butter. Delicious!!

I made these for the first time today. I thought the recipe (and dough it makes) so SO easy for a first time roll maker. I used the bread machine and followed all the directions exactly. The only slight modification I made was just to put honey butter in place of regular butter. That was just because I was wanting some extra sweetness. The rolls would have been fine without it. Personally the thing I loved about this recipe was that when the dough came out of the machine (after following the recipe exactly) it was extremely easy to work with. Thanks for this recipe...it is a new staple in my house. We live in china and getting rolls is impossible so this recipe helped. I also would like to note I made them in a toaster oven because that is all I have and it still turned out great. I think this is a good fool proof mixture of ingredients!

A hit every time I make them. Quick and easy to make, I can have them done in no time and with an impressive taste. I brush butter over it before and AFTER cooking so they are nice and moist. I can't make them often enough!

These were just okay. They needed to either be sweeter or salter. I may try again but will increase the sugar.

I had to make these the "old fashioned way" [no bread maker] and they were really lovely. I think I made them way to big, I managed to get 19 and they were really big! I will make them a bit smaller next time. Going to try sticky buns with the dough next week. Thanks so much for the recipe Donna.

WOW!!! These rolls are Great! The only thing that I did to make them better, was to take some soft spread butter, and mix in some honey to taste. I think I have died, and went to heaven. Really good and really easy

Spectacular, fluffy, tender rolls! I made these as 'clover' rolls in muffin tins, and brushed the extra butter over top. The tops had a very delicate, just slightly crisp crust fresh out of the oven. (Toootally divine.) The insides were light, and extremely soft! I am so impressed with these. Made completely by hand - no bread machine or mixer. Dough is beautiful. Soft and springy. Flour amount was perfect. Wow. Make these rolls. Do it. Right now. I mean it!

I like these a lot. I was looking for a sweet, easy, versatile dinner roll to make. I did bake them in muffin cups as other suggested, seemed easiest. It made 24+ for me this way. I did make a couple small changes. I used spelt flour instead of all-purpose and raw honey instead of sugar. Otherwise I didn't change anything. DD (17 mo.) loved them so much that I'm making several more. I've been craving cinnamon lately so I may make some as cinnamon rolls this time.

I've already rated this recipe once but felt it deserved another rating...it is fantastic! The best yeast rolls EVER and I have tried many recipes in my attempt to find the perfect ones...I followed it perfectly making my dough in the bread machine's dough cycle then simply pulling off about 15 balls to rise. Very simple. My family even says these are better then my mother-in-law's yeast rolls which is a real compliment. Thank you for this recipe!

Wow, these are spectacular! I followed KPRAPER's method of preparation, and then after the first rise, I took the idea from others about dividing them up into three balls and putting them in muffin cups. Baked at 350F for 10 min. Came out beautifully! I made 72 of these for an event, and they were fantastic. Quite easy to make, as well. A wonderful dough - I really enjoyed working with it. Definitely a keeper - can't wait to try them as cinnamon rolls! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this last week almost as written. except I didn't see the 1/4 cup of butter and I just made them as round rolls. They were awesome. So good. After I made them my dr put me on a low fat diet...so here is what I did today- All milk no water BUT fat free milk, I used egg sub instead of egg and margarine instead of butter..I was worried. No need they just finished and are still AWESOME! thanks so much for this recipe!

I don't have a bread maker so I had to modify process to work around that fact. I read other reviews and followed their advice. Been a long time since I worked with dry yeast but the rolls still came out fantastic! I will diffenately make again. Kids demolished a pan of 32 rolls.

How lucky was I to choose to make this recipe as my introduction to the site. It was a delicious success so much so that I've made it twice in one week. It wonderful to use yeast and to bake something as popular as these rolls are. Thank you. Carol
