Hot Rolls

Recipe #74791 | 45 min | 25 min prep | SERVES 15 , 15 rolls (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: ~Nimz~

These rolls are just wonderful and so simple to make. Prep time does not include the time for letting rolls rise.[Update: After finally being successful in making bread over the past year, and because of the reviews, I have reworked this recipe and hoepfully the instructions are more clear. The dough should be slightly sticky]

    Very good rolls. I used oil instead of shortening and I used 2 teaspoon of salt instead since it needs 6 cups of flour. The rolls came out very big. I think the next time, I will make the rolls smaller in the 9x13 pan to give them room to rise and used another smaller pan for the rest of the left over dough.

    My family and friends really liked these rolls! I made them for a picnic yesterday, and made them slightly smaller to get more rolls out of the batch. Lovely dinner roll recipe that I pan to try and make loafs out of soon. Made for ZWT 3!

    Excellent rolls! We all ate too many of them with supper and the neighbors I shared them with loved them too. I ended up with 16 rolls and one loaf of bread so I think the 8-10 servings listed is a bit off. :o) Even though the recipe doesn't say to do it, the only way I've ever added shortening to a bread/roll recipe was to melt it, let it cool and then add it. That is what I did this time too. I also just kneaded the dough on a floured counter and skipped the waxed paper. A great basic roll recipe which my family has already asked me to make again. Thanks Nimrod for sharing it!

    Very good rolls. I made 3 bubble loafs (pull apart rolls) using 8-inch round cake pans. I didn't understand the floured wax paper part in step 3 so I put my dough on my floured board and kneaded it as usual. I cooked the pans in a 350 oven for 25 minutes. Thanks for sharing this keeper roll recipe.
