This is by far my favorite all time bread, and it does exactly what you're looking for. Mom made it when we were growing up, and now I make it pretty often. It always turns out good!

Kadesma,
I'm glad you liked them. It was a recipe my mother gave to me. It does make life easier not having to wait so long to bake them.

abj, my Mom used to make exactly the same recipe many years ago when it was round-up time on the ranch. Sure kept the ranch hands happy!! Good to see the recipe again, thank you!!

abjcooking,
I made your Double Quick Dinner roll recipe today. They turned out perfect. I don't know to be happy or sad (laughing). They are so quick and easy to make I will probably be the size of a barn now. This is my first attempt at making a yeast roll, so thank you for your recipe. I have alway felt intimidated just thinking about making yeast rolls but this recipe took that all away. I had such fun watching the dough rise and then the actual roll rising in the muffin tin. Sorry for rambling. Thanks again.

 

[abjcooking]

Stinker,
No problem. It's always wonderful to get good feedback from your recipes. I am happy that it took away some of the intimidation for you.

hi there abjcooking. I used your dinner roll recipe,but i wasn't really thinking and used whole wheat flour instead of the white...do you think this will make a big difference for them turning out? I guess i will find out soon ---sitting on my stove right now waiting ---hope they rise...the dough was thicker than what i thought it should be but guess that was due to the different flour.I will let you know how things turn out

 

[abjcooking]

babyhuggies,
That is an interesting question. I have no idea if it would make a difference or not, i've never really tried it. I don't bake too often so usually the only flour I have on hand is all purpose. I hope they work out for you.

 

[babyhuggies]

well, lets just say " I ate them"-well 2. no they were not my best,but I'm sure if i used the right flour or took the time to do a little adjusting they will be fine.Next time I will follow the directions-haha

 

[Stinker]

Hi babyhuggies, I'm from BC too. I came online to ask about using whole wheat flour, saw your post. I was curious about how they would turn out also. Were they more dense? The original recipe from abjcooking is absolutely delicious and quite easy to make. Anyway, as I said I was coming online to ask about using whole wheat flour, got my answer.

Thanks.

I'm no baker by a long shot, but maybe using just a little of whole wheat flour would work? Just enuf to give them that nice flavor? Must go play with these...

Thank you so much, these rolls were easy, for a non baker. Very good, my ten yr. old old grandson, said -"these are good with butter, but I wish every time I took a bite, butter would pop back up "! Thanks again !

 

[abjcooking]

Bard, I completely agree with your grandson, you've got to love butter on hot rolls right out of the oven. I'm glad you enjoyed them

Here is a roll formuls my old Aunt from Norway gave me
Dinner Rolls
Pre heat oven to 375*
1 cup warm water 105- 110*
2 pkg active dried Yeast
1/2cup one stick Butter melted
1/2cup sugar
3 EGGS
1TSP SALT
4-41/2 CUPS all purpose Flour
Combine yeast and warm water in mixing bowl let stand till bubbles form {stand Mixer} stir in butter sugar eggs salt and beat in flour one cup at a time till dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides. Remove dough from bowl and grease bowl with a very small kernel of fat return dough to bowl and turn to grease top let stand in a warm place till double in bulk. When double turn out on a floured work counter divided dough in to two balls and roll out first ball to a strand [rope] about 2inches in diameter then cut at 2 inch intervals and roll into tight balls and place on greased 13x9 baking pan
When finished with first ball do the same to the seconded cover and let rise till double in bulk and bake at 375* for 15-20 minutes
cut rolls at three inches and you have some of the best hamburger roll’s you’ve ever laid a lip over
