Gwen's Butter Rich Dinner Rolls

I have used this recipe for over 30+ years. I first saw it in a cookbook put together by factory workers. I received this cookbook as a gift and have since made it my main and favorite cookbook. It is so ragged and well used. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have making them.

    Wonderful high riser, nice slightly yeasty flavor. Next time I may add a little more sugar. I made sandwich bun size. Made 18 buns. I used my breadmaker to make the dough.

    Simply OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! This recipe deserves way more than 5 stars! I made the dough in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, proofed the yeast for 10 minutes, it took exactly 4-1/2 cups all purpose four, I rose the dough for almost 1 hour, shaped the dough into 16 large buns, and rose them for 30 minutes, then baked them in my air convection oven for roughly 22 minutes at 375 degrees. This dough produced a wonderful fluffy melt-in-your-mouth texture when baked..it really can't get any better than this! If anyone is on the lookout for a fantastic bread/bun recipe then look no more, this one is it!! Gwen, I am so happy that I found your recipe, this is now my new favorite bun recipe.... thanks so very much for posting...Kittencal

    I've been in search for "The Best" in every baking category. These are by far "The Best" rolls I have ever made...my search is over! I slightly modified the recipe...I used half and half instead of milk (what was in the fridge) and added 1 teaspoon of vanilla (saw it in another rolls recipe). I also needed about 5 and 1/2 cups of flour to achieve the right consistency, but boy...the flavor was out of this world! Thanks Gwen...this recipe is a winner.
