School Lunchroom Cafeteria Rolls

“These rolls are JUST like the ones the cafeteria ladies make in the school lunch rooms! My 8 year old daughter loves the cafeteria rolls and said my recipe was even better! You can't mess these up! They are super easy and everyone will want the recipe! We eat the leftovers for breakfast or put cheese and turkey in warmed rolls for a quick lunch!”

These are good, but not the taste I was expecting. Cafeteria rolls were denser and more buttery. It's a good recipe, but my search for the best rolls is still on.

I used this for my 1st time baking rolls and it was a success! Now I use it as a guideline. We eat whole wheat so I substitute 7 cups with wheat and use less sugar. They turn out great everytime! Thank you for posting!!! :) also note: My mother in law is a great baker and is jealous of the texture of my bread! :)

I decided to try this recipe and these rolls are really good. Almost like the lunchroom rolls I grew up eating. I tried to follow the recipe exactly but goofed it up a few times. It did not appear to rise properly, it was super sticky and I used more oil/butter on my hands so I could form these into balls. I had to bake mine longer and use the broiler to brown the tops. I buttered the tops as soon as they came out of the oven. I also used convection baking. So, this recipe is somewhat forgiving because they turned out perfect. I have never baked a roll in my life but will be making these again.

Now these are some great, easy to make and tasty yeast rolls. I did cut the recipe down to 15 and made 14 rolls, placed in a buttered 9x13 glass dish. I did have to bake for about 17-18 minutes to get the nice browning. They are light, fluffy and I think the flavor is just what I love! Served with Brown Sugar Meatloaf and fresh greenbeans with little new potatoes. What a gourmet meal!

These were not what I was expecting taste wise. They were very bland. I would have given only 3 stars, but I scaled down the recipe and did not make as posted. The rolls had a nice fluffiness and texture was beautiful, but taste was just blah.

I ended up making more of a loaf because I found the dough to be too sticky to make balls, but it was WONDERFUL! This was a huge hit, and it is something that I will make over and over again. It was also my first experiment with making bread from scratch without a breadmaker, so it was really pretty easy. If I can make it, anyone can!

Got on "Recipe Buzz" for a quick answer for a recipe I remember reading for cafeteria rolls. This was exactly what I was looking for. Very easy and yummy. I did half it and use 2 pkg of yeast as another suggested. All those recipes I have tried and now I have it!!
