I made this recipe twice today, after messing up the first batch. I think a lot of people are making the same mistake I did the first time. I heated the milk mixture & the melted butter to a temperature exceeding 120 degrees, which killed the yeast. My first batch came out hard & heavy, and took a while to bake. My second batch was awesome!

Heat milk,water, and sugar in microwave until tepid. Stir. Add and stir yeast, then eggs, then salt. Brush before baking with more melted butter. Check the rolls after 10 minutes baking.

I also gave 4 stars because I didn't want to ruin such a great rating, but I did not have a good experience with these. The dough didn't rise, and the rolls were super dense - like biscuits. How do I get the fluffy results that everyone else is raving about? I felt like the directions were a bit vague in regard to how long to knead the dough - but that couldn't have been it, could it? I was thinking that maybe because I added the yeast to the milk while it was still warm... but I am a beginner at bread making. I'd like to try again.

Please tell me what I did wrong! My rolls turned out totally wrong, very firm and dense. I followed the recipe exactly! This is my first experience with bread from scratch and I would really like some input so I can be successful next time! Based on previous reviews, I'm sure this is a great recipe so I just gave 4 stars.

Everyone at my Thanksgiving ranted and raved about these rolls. My first time EVER working with yeast and they turned out great. Super fluffy. Just follow the recipe exactly and they will be beautiful.

mine were a bit dense but I may have pushed the time on the raising a bit. I wouldn't say they are unbelievable.

I too am very disappointed both my mother and I made these rolls in two different houses for Thanksgiving, had "non- expired" yeast and followed the directions to the T and both recipes made by two different people never rose. Disappointed ! Glad we are going back to the family recipe that takes the equal amount of time.
